I hate it when I see a post, go to the other instance, see a reply that hasnt been federated to me and … I can’t reply to it, because I can’t see it on my instance.

I really just want to have a manual button that says “update this thread please”. -

I really just want to have a manual button that says “update this thread please”.This is another reason I hate the culture of thread posting instead of raised character limits. Sometimes the whole thing isn’t federated!

I really just want to have a manual button that says “update this thread please”.It doesn’t solve the real issue – backfilling discussions remains a key blocker to popularity of almost all fediverse platforms – but the work around for the immediate issue is to search the missing reply’s URL from your host. That should fetch the specifc reply you want to respond to.
The NodBB folks have been having discussions about/lobbying for a backfilling standard. Hopefully those talks gain traction on the microblogging side of things.
