@feditips @NivReggev thanks for chiming in and explaining what’s going on. This is actually quite unintuitive for new users. I thought that only the servers store their users and toots from these users. But apparently that’s not the case and there is some form of content fetch between servers instead of server <-> client.

So in the end I “just” need to wait longer until someone from my server has boosted a toot from a user I’m interested in such that I can see that toot?

@slang @NivReggev

The servers only store data that is needed.

You don't have to wait for a toot though!

Log in through the website or a third party app like Tusky, go to the user's profile and click their profile picture. This opens their profile in a new tab.

You can interact there remotely, or copy/paste URLs of particular posts (or profiles!) into search box on your own server. This forces your server to notice that post, and it will remain visible on your server in future.
