Comment on Mastodon's federation consistency is laughably bad.
rimu@piefed.social 2 months agoYeah there are multiple ignored GitHub issues about Mastodon's federation of replies, going back many years. It's never getting fixed. This realisation sent me on a multi-week quest to find a platform that does replies properly. Akkoma and Friendica seem better at replies but have other shortcomings.

I wouldn't be quite so pessimistic. There's a commit for #FetchAllReplies (by @jonny@neuromatch.social, I believe) that seems to be shaping up well, with a seemingly healthy debate going on. Just yesterday @Gargron@mastodon.social posted in agreement that it is a must-fix issue.
They're moving slow, but their reasons for doing so doesn't seem to boil down to an unwillingness to fix it.

Excellent news!
