You'd need to #FetchAllReplies

Only posts with users/hashtags followed on your instance will show, even if you click a post to check replies. The rest don't go to your instance since no one's asked for it.

Ways of handling that:
1) Join a relay like bigrelay.social
2) Get a client that has the function to ask for replies from OP (#fedilab works for me)
3) Wait for that feature to show up in vanilla mastodon, is on their roadmap, maybe, as I read it

Linux nerd, sorry 🤣

There might be posts in this very thread you just don't see. This can cause confusion.

You'll only see them if they're from a user followed by someone on newsie.social. (You see THIS one, because I @'d you)

On a single person instance, you miss a lot. Relays exchange posts to partly fix it.

Sauropods.win will see all replies, because the thread started there. Options 2/3 means a client that knows to ask sauropods for them.

@notsoloud Thanks, sincerely. It's really eye opening and explains a lot.

The Fediverse is anarcho-syndicalist or libertarian or something like that: Everything is based on individuals that enter and leave agreements at will.

I don't want to live like that in real life, but for information exchange I reckon it's better than the corporate feudalism of Facebook etc.

But for that very reason, it is also quite chaotic - not as a mad fight, but in the sense that most questions have the answer "depends..."

I choose not to fight the chaos but to glory in it.
