How are people thinking about collection paging? Do implementations just choose a fixed page size and split out a new page when they get an Add activity that would put an existing collection over that size?
#
jdormit
*a paged collection
#
jdormit
or is there a more clever way to think about it?
#
jdormit
also it's not clear to me what to do when you receive an Add activity into the inbox for a paged collection you don't control. How do you know when to split the collection into a new page?

What do you mean with "collection paging"?

section 4.6.1

I got an answer from cwebber on the fediverse though
#

Basically just store all collections as unpaged internally, and then return paged representations of them if their item count is over some limit

jdormit: I should probably add pagination to pixelfed heh, https://pixelfed.social/users/dansup/followers
#
jdormit
Ha yup, that's a big blob...
#
jdormit
If you're interested I'm planning on writing up the design/architecture choices I made for this library I'm working on, and that'll include a discussion of how I'm handling collections
#
jdormit
Could be particularly relevant given that we are both working in PHP

jdormit: For sure! Look forward to reading it
