In Lemmy, object is the post itself — a Page (Note-like) object. Lemmy has no separate context abstraction: the top-level post is both the root object and, implicitly, the thread, so pointing object at the post is sufficient to identify the thread being locked.
I’d just like to point out that in Lemmy 1.0 a Lock can also point to a Note (comment under a post in Lemmy lingo) so that only that comment and all its children are locked, while the rest of the thread remains unlocked. I believe Piefed already works like this as well.

FEP-c0d0: Context Locking Thanks for sharing that! I did not know that the Lock activity could be applied to children, although it makes sense logically. This FEP only deals with topic/context-level locking, so Lemmy and Piefed's implementation would go further than this. It's definitely worth mentioning within as well. FWIW both Lemmy and Piefed have the concept of contexts, it's just not exposed in the UI. It's pretty trivial to support this FEP with little to no new logic.
