@simon @dreid just what this question made me think of, and some uses of blog categories or fedi hashtags, by intent. in hindsight from blogging to streams, I wonder now if this just a rethinking of paging a category - that tags have their own feeds is common, and that might present as next/previous links on a post - if you marked a tag as a thread does this just change the presentation to pull in the content of those adjacent posts as context.

@loppear @dreid my tag pages work for tracking topics over time pretty well - this one for example: simonwillison.net/tags/prompt- - but it's not quite what I want from threads which are more about collecting sentency-long fragments of thoughts that evolve over time

@simon @dreid I think author intent and marking matters here, for presentation. I don't have a desire to read every blog's tag stream as expected context, and fragments of thought probably only fit in a single thought stream (vs this being something like wiki deep linking). As a reader, I'm mixed on seeing these in feed - following microblog threads in a feed reader is annoying to me if they should have been a blog post, but nice for this infrequent continuation with even just a tag for context.

@simon I’m thinking that a weekly-updated feed of threads with new content would be an interesting rss feed. Sort of like the “daily summary” emails that some blogs do.

Keep daily feeds for “new top level” posts.

Since I’ve been thinking about rewriting my (just rewritten) #blog, might be a fun experiment
