This could work, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with adding that kind of logic. I'm also not sure what the overhead from hash computation and Redis communication would be. It's...

Oh, seems like it's the recent addition of featured tags to the featured collection not being gracefully handled by released versions of Mastodon. I wonder what can be done to...

This is expected, your instance only shows toots it knows about, and it won't pull toots from remote users. Some people suggest changing that (#1745) but it's not obvious how...

Basically, your instance knows about toots if any of these is true: - someone on your instance follows the person who posted, at the time it was posted - someone...

Yes, replies are forwarded to the followers by the followed person's instance when they arrive, they aren't fetched or forwarded afterwards. Fetching replies is expensive, and you'd need to do...

No, in the scenario you described, `C` doesn't do anything fancy and `A` doesn't get replies to `C`'s toot. The forwarding mechanism forwards replies to a local toot to remote...

Yes, Mastodon could theoretically pull replies (some of them at least) from the original instance (with some added machinery). But that expensive. And the question is when and how often?...
