Traversing the reply chain when working with topics

I guess one of the things I’m assuming is that other services are implementing the Inbox Forwarding spec correctly, which would mean that, in an ideal world, you should already have the replies you should have anyway and this is more of a “stop gap”.

However, I note that Mastodon violates the spec here, which means that more replies from Mastodon might be missed than is ideal

Sorry for abusing the issue tracker on this a bit, but ActivityPub is coming out… of the last steps and it would really really really help to get Mastodon on the [implementation reports page](https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/). Luckily, this is very easy to do! All you have to do is run Mastodon through the [test suite](https://test.activitypub.rocks/) and it will generate a report for you which you can submit to the [ActivityPub issue tracker](https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues). In the future the test suite will be fully automated; currently it is only automated for the client-to-server protocol. However it will ask you some questions and ask you to observe behavior and verify output. Anyway, you just need to do that and check some boxes and horray! You have something to submit. Thank you thank you thank you!
