We have ways to cross-link (replies and quoted posts, for instance). But in those cases, the author (me) did not choose to do so on purpose. Maybe we need a new way to link stories that is not author-based. Something similar to Communities, but for Curator-assembled threads.

Who knows...

Right. More author tools are great. But…

Tools for “self organizing” conversations and communities is where it’s at. This particular example I identified highlights this use case of ME trying to cross link multiple posts and finding it hard. (Because the links point out rather than stay within the client).

This is only one example and use case of our BIGFER challenge to build tools that allow content to be discovered and shared in a productive manner thats facilitates communities and conversations to self organize.

(Forgive my informal chicken scratch, as I wake up and frantically type ideas on my phone) M

Doesn’t this NIP already outline the solution, for cross linking existing posts?
