Comment on Is there a fix for, "This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete."

Not an issue but a standard warning. Fediverse instances don't auto-populate, and the author of the original project¹ must have thought it was a good idea to raise awares of that by putting this warning. But if it bothers you and you use Ublock Origin, though no native option to dismiss it are availabe, you can put this in a new line of Ublock Origin's custom filters tab: `thebrainbin.org##.alert__info.alert` ¹Mbin's a fork, and the original software's no longer worked on

A lot in Mbin can be improved with Ublock Origin's custom filters, by the way. Like auto-hiding posts you like/dislike, or hiding from the main feed and magazine feeds replies appearing as posts. But I'd suggest not using the infinite scrolling option if using custom filters as that's a massive load on the server and Ublock Origin after enough matches in a single page are done starts misbehaving.

Thanks for your reply. I should have been clearer!

It's not the banner that bothers me, it's the fact that that microblog's posts (toots) aren't being displayed when viewed from Mbin!

Is there anything I can do in order to get those posts to propagate through to Mbin? Would I have to contact the admin for the Mbin instance hosting my account? Something else?

  You could type in the url of the post in the search bar, but if you follow a user their future posts will be sent to your server. We were talking about implementing a backfill option, but there is no eta yet, so no guarantee it will be implemented at all. But since it is an annoying problem, maybe it will

    OK, got it. That's the reason I couldn't see those toots on Mbin.

    Backfill would be great! (Server capacity concerns notwithstanding.)
    
    In the meantime, clearer wording for the info banner would help:
    
    Before subscribing: "This Fediverse profile is hosted on a different server than yours. If you, or another user on your server, were to subscribe to this profile, the profile's subsequent posts will be displayed here. The profile's older posts can be viewed on their server"
    
    After subscribing: "This Fediverse profile is hosted on a different server than yours. Now that you have subscribed, the profile's future posts will be displayed here. The profile's older posts can be viewed on their server"

    About backfilling, if @modem_down come across any yet unfederated links in the wild, maybe worth mentioning search links are standardized and hard-coded, making even redirect scripts efficient. Like e.g. https://thebrainbin.org/search?search[q]=https://mastodon.social/@artologica@chaos.social/116986639666818550 yielding https://thebrainbin.org/m/random/p/829840 (and using a remote link from a third instance to further make my point hehe).

    Though about the instance itself doing backfilling, it could be pretty taxing on both the requesting and requested instances, so I worry communications may get timed-out or the requesting instance may inflate to the point storage becomes a big concern.
