Fedibird Reference

summary

Fedibird can "reference" multiple posts

References are complementary to replies, quotes, and boosts.

You may loosely couple the clarification of the mention and the notification to the person mentioned, and only do the former.

References can make references explicit.

Mentions will not be included and the other party will not be notified.

Fedibird Reference

nishio @nishio I think there are "references" in addition to replies and retweets (boosts)

@nishio I'm confused as to how this toot is tied to the "Support my Scrapbox for ActivityPub ~~" toot!

something equivalent to a quote RT, since it doesn't show up in the rep section...?

Fourth way

"Do you want to copy the link?" the chain-like symbol next to the reply." I pressed it thinking that (A) it adds the post to a global "reference list" of sorts, and (B) when I try to post normally, it tells me that a reference has been granted. Then when I try to post normally, (B) it tells me that a reference is being added. I did this without understanding either A or B, so I got an unintended reference. I think.

If that post had not contained a link, it probably would have shown the reference, but it happened to contain a link to an external page, so it was overwritten.

@nishio That feature seems to be fedibird specific, I can't find it in the official client or mstdn.jp

@inajob It's interesting that social networking sites with different functions are forming a loose federation, I'd like Scrapbox to join this federation...
