I have a #Fediverse #ActivityPub question:
Why doesn't my client ( #mastodon or #pixelfed ) automatically load the comments from the original page so that all comments are visible?
Is there a technical reason?

@treefit that would overload the server with too much information, unfortunately.

@beaware@social.beaware.live @treefit@fosstodon.org yes and no. I'm working on a solution for this.

NodeBB for example will automatically do this (providing the other end supports it). When posts are retrieved from NodeBB to NodeBB the entire topic is visible.

I think there is a spec to match etc. on this basic aspect, its an FEP about "conversation containers". I wonder if the server load argument is Mastodon/Rails specific and Pleroma/Elixir probably don't have that problem.
