For those who were unable to attend this past weekend's Social Web After Hours event held at HackerSpace Brussels (@hsbxl@mastodon.online), I've uploaded a re-recording of my presentation, which you can check out here! Sadly, there was no live recording of the rather lively session, so you'll just have to take my word for it :smile_cat:
@julian@HSBXL@deadsuperhero thanks for doing this! I’ll try to do a recording of my talk later as well. The room vibes throughout the evening were great 👍🏻
>Contexts can provide a thorough, comprehensive way to backfill an entire conversation. This is the biggest step we can take towards tackling the “fediverse is quiet” problem.
Sure, context is useful for backfilling, but is it the biggest step? I don't think so.
With FEP-1b12 or Containers, conversations are synced by default, so there is no need for backfilling. This is more efficient too: you don't need to retrieve context periodically to get an up-to-date view.

@silverpill@mitra.social when discussed with Nutomic about this, I made the case that 1b12 is excellent for synchronization. 7888 (and 171b, etc.) are good for backfill, in cases where there is no 1b12 implementation available.

@julian FEP-171b has its own way to backfill, also via context, but it is a collection of activities (such as Create). I am currently trying to figure out how to make Containers compatible with NodeBB and others.
