Is your proposal related to a problem?

Other ActivityPub software can fetch Lemmy posts, however none of the child posts / replies are fetched

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding a replies collection would allow other software to be informed of replies to the Post

A new open podcast comments spec uses ActivityPub, and the standard AP replies collection [1] to enumerate public comments.

Would love to see it implemented in this interesting project, then podcasts could use Lemmy to host discussions for their show with one top-level post per episode.

The replies array can be nothing more than string uri references, if including inline objects is too difficult.

I'm looking into this as a first issue to learn more about the codebase and ActivityPub.
