Fedibird Reference

summary

• Fedibird can “reference” multiple posts

  • References are complementary to replies, quotes, and boosts.

  • Unlike replies, you can mention more than one post. src

• 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.

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

Bluemo @blu3mo @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…? https://fedibird.com/@nishio/109371036093889937 nishio @nishio 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.

  • I see, so you can reference two tweets and tweet like a tweet [reference].

• inajob@electronics,programming,childcare @inajob@mstdn.jp

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

• nishio @nishio@fedibird.com

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