@waldoj If anyone on your server follows the thread author, you also get to see all (public) replies to it ("reply forwarding"). Mastodon does make an effort to show you more complete threads, as imperfect as it is. This can be made better, see MAS-40 on the public roadmap for example.

@Gargron FWIW, it is frustrating to me to see people describing this as problematic implementation that would be straightforward to change. I have no doubt that the current implementation resulted from a lot of difficult decisions and balancing acts within ActivityPub and Mastodon. Federation is hard!

@Gargron
I looked at joinmastodon.org/roadmap but didn’t see any reference to MAS-40. Sounds like an issue number in Jira; is the public able to see details in that system?

@Gargron @waldoj @anildash It’s why I limit my viral toots to only every 3-4 hours.
