@movq How hard would it be to implement something like (#<2024-10-25T17:15:50Z https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>)in jenny as a replacement for (<a href="?search=twthash" class="tag">#twthash</a>) and have it not care about if is http(s) or a g-protocol?

@Codebuzz Speed is an issue for the client software, not the format itself, but yes I agree that it makes the most sense to append post to the end of the file. I'm referring to the definition that it's the first url = in the file that is the one that has to be used for the twthash computation, which is a too arbitrary way of defining something that breaks treading time and time again. And this is the case for not using url+date+message = twthash.

Some more arguments for a local-based treading model over a content-based one:

1. The format: `or(@DATE)both makes sense: # as prefix is for a hashtag like we allredy got with the(#twthash)` and @ as prefix denotes that this is mention of a specific post in a feed, and not just the feed in general. Using either can make implementation easier, since most clients already got this kind of filtering.

2. Having something like `will also make mentions via [webmetions for twtxt](https://darch.dk/mentions-twtxt) easier to implement, since there is no need for looking up the#twthash`. This will also make it possible to make 3th part twt-mentions services.

3. Supporting twt/webmentions will also increase discoverability as a way to know about both replies and feed mentions from feeds that you don't follow.

@prologic you will always be replying to OP - that is what the twthash is a shorthand for, it it not?!

Hi @movq, is it better now? I have put in a psudo twthash since I did not archive from a specific date/post, but just what I did not find relevant to keep in my main feed.

What about using the blockquote format with > ?

Snippet from someone else's post by: @eapl.me

Would it not also make sense to have the repost be a reply to the original post using the (<a href="?search=twthash" class="tag">#twthash</a>), and maybe using a tag like #repost so it eaier to filter them out?
