@thomasfuchs @deepthoughts10 @re_chief I agree, but as others have pointed out, it can cause much more bandwidth and storage demand. On the other hand, if it’s only done for text messages (and image/video/audio loading is deferred), it’s probably negligible even for a large thread, compared to transferring and storing a single video.

Gerrit Imsieke (gimsieke@mastodon.cloud)'s status on Thursday, 08-Feb-2024 23:52:00 JST Gerrit Imsieke @deepthoughts10 @re_chief @thomasfuchs I think only the replies that have already been retrieved by my instance will be shown.
Therefore I often use “open original page“, and when I reply on this orginal page, I think the “mastodon simplified federation“ Firefox add-on kicks in and opens the other person’s reply in my instance and puts the cursor into the reply form. This works reasonably well.
Maybe an additional button “retrieve full conversation from original site“ will be helpful, too. -
