Twitter bridge - threads in one feed
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When someone on Twitter creates a long thread, the Twitter bridge then gets very cluttered.
Describe the solution you'd like Twitter bridge option: "Put the entire thread in one feed item". or "Show only the first post from the thread and add a link to expand the thread"
Describe alternatives you've considered There is no solution to this. You have to scroll, scroll, scroll....
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
What is thread in Twitter?
@em92 E.g. this: https://twitter.com/uwteam/status/1484154841769209857
Consists of 16 combined twitts, on one and the same topic.
@lukaszpolowczyk I interpret this as a collapsable <details> element that is closed by default for the rest of the thread.
@dvikan "I interpret this as a collapsable <details> element that is closed by default for the rest of the thread."
I think that might be the answer.
This sounds fairly complex to implement, and of no value/interest to me personally. Pretty much all my feeds have Replies excluded.
Perhaps if @arnd-s or someone else implements it in TwitterBridge, I can crib their code for TwitterV2Bridge.
Threads are a complex topic.
Theoretical its possible to combine tweets based on conversation_id field. When using V2 API, you can even search all threads, which are related to a conversation (thread).
But there are also practical issues. Threads are sometimes written over a longer time. What happens, when you pull tweets between posts and an additional time after new posts where added ? It's currently not implemented, to remember which posts where already combined in a rss item. Adding a new rss item with only the new posts in this thread is not possible (at the moment)
So, you would have to update the already existing rss item (with a new timestamp), but not all rss news reader will then show it as new/unread
