Conversations: a feed of the replies the people you follow write, each under the post it answers.

Amethyst's Conversations beside its New Threads (Adam, 2026-10-16: "a replies
mode or Conversations mode like Amethyst has"). The Following feed showed
their posts and dropped every reply, so what people were saying TO each other
only turned up by opening threads. Now a built-in Conversations chip sits
beside Following (id 'replies'; its own notes, clock, disk cache and relay
choice like the other built-ins): the same people, asked for notes and NIP-22
comments, keeping the replies — a reply as NIP-10 marks it, a comment, never a
quote or a repost (feedKinds/feedKeeps; the merge, seeding, borrowing, the
live watch and the media index all go by them). Each row shows what it
answers above it — "↩ Replying to" and the quote card of the parent (the e
tag marked reply, else root, else the last; a comment's e or E), tapping the
card opens that post, tapping the reply its thread at the reply — and the
header drops its "reply" tag there. The parent is usually in hand already
(the Following feed, a thread, someone's page: noteInHand, which quotedNote
checks before any relay — nostr:nevent quotes gain the same), and a thread
opened from such a row paints its root at once instead of fetching it. In a
conversations feed the parent counts as part of the row, so it arrives whole
with the first screen (noteReady's parent option, per feed); a profile's
Replies tab shows the same context and fills its cards in. Not a shareable
URL (it is nobody's timeline), so no Share in its menu. Any custom feed can
be one: "Replies instead of posts" in the editor (def.replies, synced with
the definition), named in its summary. The disk cache now keeps comments.

tools/feed-conversations-test.js: Following keeps posts only; the chip; the
replies newest first with the parent card from hand (no relay asked) and a
missing parent said so; the menu without Share; the reply's own tap opens
its thread at the reply, with the root painted from hand; the card's tap
opens the parent; Back lands on Conversations; the profile's Replies tab
shows the context, Posts none; a custom conversations feed via the editor
borrows the replies from the feeds in hand, not the posts. feed-custom-test
lists the new chip. Pre-existing failures not touched: feed-custom-test's
"a tagged post lands in it"/"lands in Everything" and feed-streaming-test's
pill position fail on clean HEAD the same way; feed-follow, feed-cache,
own-post-feeds, feed-list, feed-media-views, feed-switch-seed, profile-pager,
thread-pager, feed-repost, feed-live, feed-new-posts, feed-window,
feed-choice-per-wallet, feed-nav-destination, feed-wallet-back, moderation,
feed-mention-tap and feed-reboost pass.
