When viewing
getAuthorFeed
with theposts_and_author_threads
filter, previously the appview would serve any reply that the author posted in their own thread in reply to one of their own posts. This could end-up including posts that were not part of a self-thread, even if they appeared to be "locally" by inspecting their root and parent.With this change, when we encounter a reply we ensure that the full reply chain up to the root is included in the author feed. Otherwise we filter it out—this should ensure that only proper self-threads are served when using the
posts_and_author_threads
filter.
