   @julian I reported this to you because one user asked me by "why I can't discover this NodeBB thread from my instance?". I think this is going to happen quite often across the Fediverse.
   Maybe in the future we will figure out how to deal with these collections, but right now this leads to a bad user experience

     @silverpill @evan@cosocial.ca @erincandescent @julian @evan@community.nodebb.org I'd prefer impls update to support showing threads/collections, rather than NodeBB being held back. UX will get better as other impls update.

     At the very least, browser.pub can do it! :P

     @trwnh @silverpill @evan @julian @evan so, truthfully, I'm ambivalent to whether a thread object exists. But if it does, I feel like it should probably be reified distinctly from the thread collection primarily because I don't think treating collections as objects is a good idea. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my strongly held opinion!
     
     And yeah, then we can give threads a following collection and let people follow them as they wish.

     @erincandescent @julian @evan@community.nodebb.org @trwnh @silverpill Standards are about making arbitrary decisions in the pursuit of uniformity.

     @trwnh @evan @evan @julian @silverpill and to be clear my ambivalence about whether there should be a thread object comes primarily because I don't think this is a point on which we will ever get universal agreement
     
     It's an area where I feel the only real route is the "why not both?" compromise that doesn't really make anyone happy
