A complaint people have about Mastodon is that posts from other instances only show up if someone on your instance interacts with them. Generally that means someone on your instance follows the author, but there are other options

This is undeniably bad UX, but it's also what makes being a small-time #MastoAdmin possible. I am only financially, legally, and ethically responsible for the things my users choose to seek out, instead of every post on the fediverse (1/2)

I absolutely see the value in tools like relays and fetch-all-replies, but I think these should be approached with caution as they have the ability to massively increase moderation workload

Not to diminish these tools at all but I hope they don't reduce the demand for improving the ability to hop between instances. An example of this is how trying to like a post on another instance opens a text box that will take you to your home instance where you can like the post (2/2)
