Fossil aims to be "for reading", and right now it punts thread display to your native app. So...

Some ideas, we could incorporate multiple of these:

  • Thread indicator — display 6/10 on the toot to indicate it's the 6th toot out of a 10 toot thread
  • Show all posts together, always (imo i don't like this, but who knows)
  • Click a button and see a modal dialog with the entire thread. Closing the dialog closes the whole thread.

Thinking about the interaction wtih algorithms — Breaking up a post into many threads gives it multiple points in embedding space. So if your thread talks about ADHD, social media and horses, having each of those concepts show up separately (at least once) might enable the entire thread to show up in multiple labeled clusters. I think that's a good thing.
