A little for your

So people have been noticing that you often don't see replies to posts on Mastodon. This is especially true if the post originated from a user who's on another instance from your own.

How to rectify the situation? Go to the source. On Mastodon, in the "three dots" menu next to each post there's an option to "Open Original Page". This will open up the post directly from that other instance and you'll see all the replies there.

You can also do this from mobile, too. Tusky has an "Open in browser" option. There are other clients and most likely they all have the same option.

NOTE: Remember if you're viewing a post from another instance, if you try interacting with it you'll get a dialog asking you to verify from where you are logged in on, because the other instance does not know about you.

Of course, you can always go back to your native view and interact with it as you normally would.

ai6yr,

@zalasur I believe you can also click on "Expand Post"

@ai6yr "Expand Post" doesn't load in comments made from instances you don't already federate with somehow. I just checked.

ai6yr,

@zalasur Aha!
