   @trwnh @julian @silverpill Conversation activity is any activity that conversation owner thinks is related to the conversation, and wants to distribute to other participants. In (micro)-blogging applications that would be Create/Update/Delete, sometimes Like, EmojiReact and Announce too (if one wants to synchronize reactions and boost counts). But in other applications these activities might be different, for example video sharing app may include View activities, and audio sharing app may include Listen activities.

     @julian @silverpill what makes something a "conversation activity" or a "post", and how are these different?

     to me, a "post" is "whatever you intend for the user to see". generally this is anything that has content (or summary or name), but you can also support "contentless activities" if the semantics are clear enough. for best practices though, i'd recommend the switch-case be "presence of name/summary/content".

     i don't see a reason to single out Create/Update/Like for context.
