Can someone who knows more about how Mastodon/the fediverse works help me understand something?
I've seen this happen with a few accounts now where I'd be trying to search for a post by its URL and it would not show up on some servers, but it would on others. I'd think these accounts might've been suspended, but the accounts themselves are found, and so are some of their older posts. I'd expect a suspended account not to show up at all, but maybe this is how it works?
@stefan I have this problem with accounts that are not suspended. When searching for a post I find on my other instance, I often get a 500 error on this instance, so I can't boost. Many threads I see here are incomplete, I have to open them on their original instance to see all replies. I thought it's a problem with my instance – I can't even follow my other self here.
@stefan Wow. I just got a 500 trying to post this with my other instance handle. Removed it and it worked.
