@b0rk Thank you very much for writing this up!

I especially appreciate the FediFetcher and combine.social pointers. I subscribe to a bunch of relays on my personal instance. They populated replies to this thread correctly, but I found another one from someone else, where replies were missing. They got filled in within 15mins of setting up combine.social! 🎉

@dv @b0rk I tried as well, but I still only see @dv’s (who I follow) and my own replies to @b0rk’s post (almost 8 hours later).

Any idea what could be wrong and how to debug/fix this?

@rob Hmm, if I'm reading "The Solution" section of combine.social right you may need to either follow @b0rk or boost her original post, so it shows up on your home timeline. There also seems to be a 24hr cutoff for pulling replies.

@dv @b0rk I think you’re right!

(Looks like I initially misunderstood how it works)

@dv @b0rk Since I use @MonaApp (on iPhone, iPad and Mac), I can probably use this:

Tip to fellow @[email protected] #MonaApp users that prefers the swipe gesture to get into post details: Set "Load from remote server" as either left or right post swipe option. This way you get all content loaded directly from the server that the post resides on. So all favourites/reblogs and comments on that post is visible to you. Especially useful if like me are using a smaller instance that has a lower federation. Settings >Post Actions >Swipe Options >And set is as you prefer. Post 1/2

Hej du!
