Conversations is a view of every feed — the chip beside Notes, Images, Videos and Articles — not a feed of its own.

Adam, 2026-10-16: "conversations [should] be one of the filter chips between
all and images and all should become notes". So the view row reads Notes ·
Conversations · Images · Videos · Articles, and Conversations shows the
current feed's people in reply — Following, Popular, a list, a topic, a pack,
anyone's timeline — each reply under the post it answers, as 885bc26 drew
them. The view is a feed state of its own under the feed's id (suffix
~replies: its own notes, clock, disk cache, fresh counter and live watch),
with a definition derived from the feed's (replies: true) so the merge,
seeding, borrowing, watch and kinds all go by it unasked; Notes ↔
Conversations is entered like a switch of feed, the feed chip unchanged, and
the chosen view persists across feeds and reloads like the others. A feed's
state is forgotten together with its view's (dropFeedState) when its query
or relays change or it is deleted. The built-in Conversations feed chip and
the editor's "Replies instead of posts" toggle from this morning are gone
with it (def.replies stays as the derived definition's mark).

tools/feed-conversations-test.js follows: the view chips in order, no feed
chip of its own, the view's cache under following~replies, the feed chip
staying on Following while the view is on, Back landing on the view, a new
list feed opening straight into the view with the replies borrowed from the
feeds in hand and Notes giving its posts, Following's view back at once, and
a reload opening on the view from its own cache. feed-media-views-test names
the chips; feed-custom-test is back as it was. feed-media-cache-test is
flaky either way (a stray first page in its request window, or its 8 s
timing, on clean HEAD too); feed-custom-test's "lands in Everything" fails on
clean HEAD; the other feed suites pass.
