I wonder if there's a better way, like using js (ugh, but) to weight a post when it's been expanded.
Oh, but doesn't that open another can of worms concerning what is acceptable tracking? I may be unclear on exactly how this is done with js.
Also, very interesting conversation, but somewhat unexpected to have it under the subject of a Richard Cheese album 😂
#Facts I'm sure he'd be delighted though :D
I don't think tracking expansions via an ajax flag would be any different than tracking up/down votes. Presumably, you could use the exact same api. Just count 'opens' as upvotes.
I'm not 100% sure how mbin/kbin/lemmy currently implement post opens (since I've been too uninterested to dig into it), but I'd think the mechanism would be pretty much the same as it already is.
/edit: Ok, so I poked around. Yeah, it's just an ajax submission form when you upvote, so it could definitely be tied to a scrolled/read/expanded action. Which is already tracked (displayed via the colors)
