Ok, #ActivityPub & #Mastodon geeks:

So, I use a combination a Firefox plugin & server settings to make sure all replies of threads I'm reading get downloaded for me to my local instance. Works great *except* it's really hard to keep track of what I read already & what I didn't. I just end up reading the whole thing over & over.

What I'd love is a way to “subscribe” (i.e., “follow a thread”) & have any reply on the thread put into my timeline.

Is there such a thing?

@bkuhn I use a home-made solution for what you describe:

https://codeberg.org/khinsen/malleable-message-manager/src/branch/main/examples/conversations.lisp

In Mastodon, I put a bookmark on the thread I want to follow. The script above runs once per hour, downloads the reply tree for all bookmarked toots, and sends them to my e-mail address, one toot per message, with proper threading. And each toot is sent only once.

Cookie monster!
