Whereas many social medias focuses on a continuous content stream, feed readers are instead often designed around an inbox, with unread counts and sometimes even sub-folders. On the indieweb, replying is done by creating a reply post on your own site that links (with rel-in-reply-to) to the of the post you're replying to, and then sending a webmention to the post's webmention endpoint.Ĭontra: tt-rss-micropub provides a reply interface with the Tiny Tiny RSS feed reader. The defunkt Google Reader had a way of "starring" posts, which then showed up in their own feed, but this interaction was local to the reading interface rather than pushed out to the original content. However it introduced an "in-reply-to" element which was latter adopted as the simpler rel-in-reply-to for HTML. There was a proposed RFC (4685) " Atom Threading Extensions" that went unimplemented. This trend was one of the motivations behind the deliberate development of POSSE as a way for indieweb sites to stay in touch with their friends/users/readers that prefer to use silos as their primary aggregrator. Standalone feed-readers have for the most part been superseded by the much nicer overall UX of integrated read/post UIs as exemplified by Facebook and Twitter, where you can read, publish, comment, repost, like, RSVP and so on in one place - more and more users have switched to using these silos as their "aggregator" instead of aggregators that actually pull in content from around the web.

Feed readers are useful for keeping up with people's posts wherever they post, especially their own site.
