Fedilab Apps on Nostr: #Fedilab lets you fetch a remote conversation to retrieve all the messages your ...
#Fedilab lets you fetch a remote conversation to retrieve all the messages your instance does not know about. This feature is limited by design, because the public context on the #Mastodon API is capped (40 ancestors and 60 descendants without authentication).
That is why the next Fedilab release will add a merge mode: the messages already known by your instance are merged with the remote ones. This way, the case where the feature worked against its own purpose can no longer happen.
