Having the ability to see remotely threads by default like remote profiles is something that can interest you?

Ie: that means to see all public messages especially messages not federated with your instance.

Maybe a last step before offering fedilab in prod.
@apps is there any stability improvement work ongoing? I love fedilab, but it's hard to recommend with so many crashes.
@tjk @apps This might be a phone or a feature specific issue. I have been using it for over a month or two with out any crashes
@tjk
Could you enable crash reports (if not yet done) and send us them with a reference to your previous message?
@apps +1 from me. I already have FediFetcher set up for my single-user instance but even then newest posts/boosts can still be out of date for several minutes.
@apps
I'm not sure I get what you mean, but I'm not interested in seeing toots from defederated places that my instance has band for extremism, bigotry etc. I also wouldnt be interested to see toots by the threads server if my instance defederates it.
@apps That means, for instance, seeing all replies to your poll, even those from servers my instance has never heard of, right? Yes, definitely! One of the biggest shortcomings of Mastodon is how siloed everything is - It surprises many of us that if I search for #kittens, I only see SOME toots with that hashtag, or if I look at a toot, I won't necessarily see all replies - and worse, I don't have any idea that I'm not seeing all the relevant content.
@apps
Wouldn't that make things slower? But If there'd be a toggle for it i guess it could be cool, even more if the option to open individual posts locally was present, i mean, like we currently have a button to open them remotely, having one to see them locally when in the "remote by default mode" is activated seems like something that'd be nice, i don't know much bout these things tho so yeah
@apps Yeqh I find it weird that by default you view content through your own instance. It increases a lot the total data storage of the network. I've heard arguments of privacy. And sure IP addresses leak some info. There's pros and cons. But censorship at the instance level is becoming a growing problem IMO. So if one of your contacts shares something that your instance censors, you should still be able to see it.
@apps
Caveat: as an opt-in feature

@apps, as long as I can still filter the content somehow it would be a great feature. How would you do that? Would it be a separate timeline?

Also, wouldn't't it potentially be a *lot* of data? I'm not using any relays so I'm not sure about the volume of toots that we are talking about here.

@apps feels likw kind of a stupid question, I mean this clearly feels like a bug of Mastodon not to pull the complete thread, but if the app can pull the missing posts that would at leat be a first step.
