@julian I am reading through the context fep and I am wondering if nodeBB only supports the context to be a collection or could it also be a post that starts a conversation?

Hi @pfefferle@mastodon.social! The current recommendation is that context be ideally a URL.

We have not voted on further recommendations but the consensus is that it should be resolvable to a Collection or OrderedCollection and the original post is contained within (first item of the collection).

Open to discussion as to whether this works for you or not. This is why the recommendation on that has not been solidified yet.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social about to take off to Dublin (connection to Toronto), so can answer more in 1.5h

@pfefferle You may want to read the previous version of FEP-7888, which says that context should resolve to a collection:

fep/fep/7888/fep-7888.md at 6db51e4893e32c603a93a7570d3db4e412f0a8c2

fep - Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

Codeberg.org (codeberg.org)

This is what various projects have implemented so far.

The FEP was changed several days ago and now it is a very different document. The recommendation to use collection is no longer present, so I don't see any reason to refer to this FEP anymore.
