When you post in a thread you get an ID for that thread. When you post in a different thread you get a different id.
The only way i could see it working is following a particular board on an instance. So I might follow the fitness board on the chan.nz instance and id see all threads pop up and I could open them and view the comments just like on lemmy or mastodon. Actually I think that would work.
That's what I said. You don't need any ID to federate the messages. If you reply to a comment the nesting is based on the comment/post ID and not the usernames.
You couldn't track a users posts after the fact, and I think that's kinda the point.
