This thread from Ian Coldwater on Hachyderm is the one I'm talking about: https://hachyderm.io/@ian/111098333623392670

Visiting that page right now, I count 60 replies. Viewing that same page on my Firefish instance, I see 87 replies.

If the issue is that Hachyderm (or Ian) blocks those instances (or users), then replies from them not appearing on the Hachyderm page for that post makes sense.

But what doesn't, is that in order for me to be seeing them here, my instance needs to already have a following relationship with them, right?

Or do replies that Hachyderm has decided not to accept still get federated out from there?
