Substitoot is a free open source add-on for web browsers which automatically fetches complete Mastodon threads from the original server. This is useful if you think some replies are missing due to federation issues.

➡️ Substitoot for Firefox (also works on Firefox for Android): addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firef

➡️ Substitoot for Chrome: chromewebstore.google.com/deta

➡️ Substitoot's source code: github.com/virtulis/substitoot

Would be nice to know people's opinions and experiences about this add-on 🤔

@FediTips @manu Will the best Android client (@moshidon) or the best PWA client (@elk) plan to have something like that?

@FediTips Idk about this extension (that I'll try right away), but it make me think about @phanpy that have a very similar feature and it's quite useful actually

@FediTips @manu i am curious if it is intended to override protections enacted against abusive / negligent servers? Or to make it easier for Facebook or Twitter corps to inundate us all with their spam and scams and ads?

@whatzaname @FediTips Basically, it's just using the search engine of your instance to import missing replies (from ones that no one from your instance follows).
The moderation of your instance still applies.

@manu @FediTips ooh, thank you. Then, yup. It would make following interesting conversations so much easier!

Yeah, it's just intended to fill in posts missing from threads which aren't visible from your server yet.

Usually this isn't because of any blocks but simply because your server hasn't noticed their account yet. More info at:

@FediTips It works great for me with Firefox on desktop. It also works with android mobile Firefox. Which installed as PWA is really an option.
