A complaint people have about Mastodon is that posts from other instances only show up if someone on your instance interacts with them. Generally that means someone on your instance follows the author, but there are other options
This is undeniably bad UX, but it's also what makes being a small-time #MastoAdmin possible. I am only financially, legally, and ethically responsible for the things my users choose to seek out, instead of every post on the fediverse (1/2)
