the likes-of-reposts thing is all on protocol btw!! Likes and reposts now have a “via” field that points at the repost record
Hoping to see some cool visualisations and stuff!

ændra.Initially I was like, that's cool I guess.
But thinking about it, this is kind of a game changer for analytics. It gives e.g. journalists way more data about which accounts are driving the most referrer traffic, which is pretty key to understanding reach and hitherto mostly guessing on here.

Skeets AppWould be cool to have a via_app field so other AT Proto apps could be easily discovered.

Olivier Simard-CasanovaYes please! This was a nice little thing to have on old Twitter.

Steve SyfuhsSamuel why did you mispell referer
1 5Samuellol
1 2Barry DorransOh look missing descriptions on new fields. 🤦♂️
1Barry DorransWhat does the URI and CID point to in reasonRepost? The repost record, or the post the repost is referring to?
1 2Barry DorransBarry Dorrans@samuel.bsky.team So to get the process clear, a repost would take a FeedViewPost, check the reason is a repost, and then fill out the via strong reference with the repost record under reason in the FeedViewPost?
Can't do it with just a post record strong reference?

I don’t understand what you mean by post record strongRef. which post? likes/reposts already point to the post
1Barry DorransSo I have a repost method that just takes the aturi/cid of a post. Nothing more, so no reasons etc. are available with that.
1 1Barry Dorrans😂 I was not expecting a well named PR

Michel BestaatAh. I was doing some testing but it didn't work. I haven't looked at the proto changes yet. Obviously Skywalker does not set the via-field yet.
