PSA: if you see a remote toot and think "wow that is an amazing toot, why does it have 0 favs/boosts/replies"? It probably doesn't. It's just that nobody from this instance follows someone who fav'ed/boosted/replied to it.

One thing I found useful is to just eagerly follow people you see in the Federated timeline saying stuff you like. You can always unfollow/block later.

The Masto experience gets fleshed out the more you use an instance. Keep in mind toot.cafe is 4 days old. 😄

Mastotip: You can click on the time of the post to open it on the posters instance and thus see everything they see. This also makes you see the whole thread so you don't miss out on replies.

@pajn Yes that's a good point; there is always an escape hatch to the "full" view. My point is more that the UI doesn't put it front-and-center. But yes, you can seek it out if you want. 🙂
