Recent context collection news, in case you've missed:

- Mastodon: PR open
- Lemmy: PR merged

silverpill@mitra.social oh you better believe I was aware of it 😁

It is a significant step toward broad adoption of context collections in order to enable backfill.

@silverpill Thanks, I totally missed this development. I blame the conference I was at. 😄

@jesseplusplus Can I ask here, what's the ultimate scope of what you're upstreaming? I see https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/35959 is a building block, will you be pushing for Mastodon to publish context collections later? It's not clear from what I'm seeing here if that's part of the plan.

julian@fietkau.social the work by jesseplusplus@mastodon.social is split into two PRs.

The first allows Mastodon to start serving context collections. This is the critical piece that allows others to backfill conversations.

The latter half to be introduced in another PR will allow Mastodon to consume context collections for backfill purposes.
