Federation ain't so great for discussion. Here's a toot from a user from the mastodon.social instance. It was boosted by a user on mastodon.gamedev.place, which I'm also on.
If I fetch the descendants (aka replies) for that toot from mastodon.gamedev.place, I see 2.
If I fetch the descendants from mastodon.social, I get ... a gazillion replies.
I understand why it works like that. It's just not great. Folks on mastodon.gamedev.place miss out on a lot of talk.
