   @BeAware @paul @zvavybir yes you can. I’m sure Paul has more details - it’s been years since I last touched Windows in a meaningful way …

     Is there a way to "Open original page" or similar that takes my blocklists into account? (I usually have to open the original page because not all replies federate to my instance.)

     @zvavybir ohhh...😅

     My mistake.

     Depending on how your instance is hosted, you can use a software called FediFetcher made by @michael

     https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher

     To use it, you'd need to have direct access to your Linux CLI, which hosts like Masto.Host don't offer due to it being managed.

     Maybe this is what you need?🤔

     @BeAware That not what I meant, sorry for writing it quite weirdly. What I mean is, is there a way for my server to fetch from the original server all posts that that other server knows of and then show them (and then of course blocklists are automatically used)?

     @zvavybir no worries friend.

     PS. @michael, if you'd like me to stop tagging you whenever recommending your software, just let me know. I just do it in case they have questions, but I can see how it'd be annoying.😅

     @BeAware

     Actually just to clarify: you don’t need access to your instance’s CLI. Any machine that can run python will do. I know @paul runs it on his standard windows machine using Task scheduler. Even an Android device would do (though it’s complex to set up)

     As such FediFetcher is completely compatible with hosted services like masto.host, and can even be used if you are just a plain old regular user, rather than the admin of your instance

     @michael @paul @zvavybir Paul, ill get with you at a better time to discuss, if you don't mind. I'm not in a position to do it now, but since we're already connected, I'll ping you in a few days if I have any questions, if that's alright.👍

     @BeAware @paul @zvavybir

     Actually, I completely forgot the arguably easiest and lowest tech way of running FediFetcher:

     GitHub Actions. These require no hardware, no installation, and no CLI at all: it’s all point and click at GitHub. Full instructions can be found in the readme:

     https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher?tab=readme-ov-file#to-run-fedifetcher-as-a-github-action

     The main disadvantage is that this way you can only schedule it every 15 min - GitHub doesn’t allow more frequent schedules.
