Threads of comments over ActivityPub, the protocol of Mastodon, PeerTube and the podcast host Castopod.
Each post is a JSON document at its own URL. A root post can start a conversation and name a collection of all its posts. This collection is the context of FEP-f228, or the comments of a PeerTube video. A reading asks for that collection, or else for the replies collection of each post, down the tree. It asks for each post that a collection names by URL at the post's own server, and for each author too. A server speaks only for its own posts and authors, as FEP-fe34 asks, and a post that isn't public is left out.
Some servers answer only signed requests, and Mastodon lets no page on another site read its posts. For such a root post, the reading asks the Mastodon API of its server for the thread. Many servers answer this API, which speaks only for its own server too.

The paths of statuses on the servers that answer the Mastodon API, as of October 2026.
They're the paths of the web pages and of the ActivityPub ids. Each is a regular expression of the whole path, and its one group is the id of the status in the API.
They're the paths of Mastodon, of GoToSocial, of the ActivityPub ids of both, the numeric ids of newer Mastodon servers included, and of Pleroma and Akkoma, unless the options give the paths of other servers as :status-paths.
