I haven’t watched any episodes (of any series) this season, but I’m pretty surprised to see something above Mushoku Tensei. Figured that’d be a lock for the season.

Just to pose these in a similar thread, I have a few questions as a casual observer, some of which I’m unclear if they’re handled at the protocol or Lemmy level.

• As I understand it servers subscribe to other servers and everything is then push based?
• I assume ordering is not a guarantee. So there’s probably no concept of offset tracking on subscriptions or replaying a time range?
• If ordering is not a requirement how do likes/comments handle out of order receipt? Everything seems to have a local ID, so can content get pre-liked before the root message arrives? Unclear if ID generation is based on any identifiers you’d have to work with or not - or whether remote content retains its origin IDs?
• Lemmy at least appears to have some retry mechanism, but I’m unclear the behavior on that - seems annoying with 1000+ subscribing servers.
• I seem to recall reading ActivityPub has some pattern for batching, but reading the spec again I’m not seeing it. Is that a thing?

Another good episode. This series continues to do a nice job balancing all the little character stories.
