Quote posts behave inconsistently

Support

Hi, thanks a lot for implementing quote posts - neat feature.

I did some simple testing with another user from an instance running Misskey. I observed the following behaviour:

  • Quote posts without mentioning the original poster do not show up as replies to the original post. This seems to be working as intended I guess.
  • Quote posts mentioning the original poster made on my instance (Akkoma) show up as replies to the original post. This also seems intentional. Example
  • Quote posts mentioning the original poster made on the Misskey instance do not show up as a reply to the original post. Example

The last point seems like a bug, but is it a bug in Misskey or in Akkoma?

this is due to how threads are actually constructed on a fundamental level

in akkoma we assign the same “Context ID” to quotes - this puts them in the same conceptual thread

this happens regardless of if it mentions the original poster or not. the only difference is that removing the mention won’t notify the poster.

misskey does not do this
