My least favourite sharp edge of Mastodon is the fact that when you view someone else's post you only see replies to it that are known to your server - so there's actually a good chance there will be relies that are completely invivible to you, especially if you run your own instance

I'd love it if tapping a post kicked off a request back to the original server that fetched the current reply count, and provided a "view all replies" button if there were replies not yet visible to me

@cwebber It's like email, but with a lot more gay people

@evan @jesse I don't know about clever but it's never been clear to me why mastodon doesn't just make a request to the remote server for all replies and then run them through your standard local filters. My guess has always been it's a perf issue but that's just a guess.

@SteveFaulkner @yatil @heydon @jaffathecake here you see yours truly modeling the catwalk to smithereens with another shirt-by-heydon™

it's hard to explain to people that software is a fundamentally communal activity because they're like "ohh you're a dev! you must be so smart!" and like. it literally does not matter how smart i am. none of this works at all unless we can collaborate across time and space.
