  I don’t use mastodon, but is that an issue for the Threadiverse? I thought all replies are collected by the host instance of the community.

    It may still be missing stuff from before the first person from your home instance joined the community which can make younger communities feel empty.

      Ah ok. That’s the problem that the major instances solved by having bots auto join all new communities in each other, right?

        Yup, this removes that need.

        yep. https://lemmy-federate.com/ lets you do this.

    You're not wrong about that. Threadiverse software (Lemmy, Piefed, and NodeBB too) use something called 1b12 to synchronize content between instances.

    If you follow a community, you set up the synchronization from your server to that community.

    This is similar, but about backfill, which is what happens if you follow a community mid-way and don't have any of that stuff from before.

    Also you can't 1b12 synchronize with Mastodon, so that unfortunately is a dead-end, but you would hopefully be able to backfill from Mastodon.

    everything is weaved together! What happenes when a mastodon account responds to a piefed account and then that gets shared by a Friendica account etc.

      I have no idea :)

        My point is that there is never a hard line between any other parts of the fediverse so if there is a new feature or way one part does something it will always have an effect on the other parts.

  What’s “the remote view”? Never seen that feature in any Lemmy app before.

    The post you replied to comes from a different instance than your own, so does my answer. When you’re logging into your instance, the view of their and mine posts are both remote to you.

    Sometimes in Mastodon you’ll only see the specific post that you’re opening a link to directly, not other posts before or after. This tries to fix that.

    Well you have your “home” lemmy instance whicj you are logged in to. Everything you see goes through you home instance. But many thing you will see originate on a completely different “remote” instance. Your home instamce nees to be federated and synced in order to the everything that happens in the remote/origin instance
