@freemo Hi,

Can you help me with understanding some of the issues I have?

A lot of posts from people I follow on other instances don't make their way here.

Often when someone reposts an excerpt from a thread on another instance I can't see the whole thread. I have to read the read in a new tab, on another instance's page.

I just learned that some people who follow me see only some of my posts.

When I see an interesting post on another instance, I often can't boost it from here – pasting the URL into the search box gives a 500 error or a "can't search toots" message.

It turns out I'm missing many interactions, some of them important enough to worry about this.

I have workarounds for some of those issues, but it needn't be like this:

Follow

@freemo One other thing: I can't follow my account here from an account on a different instance. My follows here are open. When trying to follow from another instance, I see that my follow is awaiting approval. When I check follow requests here (which I needn't to) I don't see the request.
