I've tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto.

Ooh, good point. how do you force a remote conversation load? i know theres a button on profiles to load the origin version of the profile.

@dlakelan @tiefling
In conversation, it's the button left of the eye in the top right corner (the globe), and on profiles, the looking glass.

@tiefling @leanderlindahl Tusky has a long-standing bug where some posts on your timeline just get dropped. It might be that.

I think (but might be wrong) Fedilab has an option to fetch the original thread from the remote server to try and get missing messages. Recent Mastodon servers can do this too, so it shouldn't make a difference now.

@pachli thanks for pitching in with your knowledge

I love Moshidon @moshidon which is a fork of the no longer under active development Megalodon @megalodon

However, it crashes so often for me that I'm actually trying Fedilab @apps again. Even the I don't like many most of the design decisions they made, it hasn't crashed once. Like so many glyphs with no text to explain what they do. Are you trying to be Microsoft?

[pentup@mastodon.art]

@jrdepriest @tiefling Really? That's a bummer. It's literally never crashed for me.

[jrdepriest@infosec.exchange]

@pentup @tiefling

It happens mostly when I click an external link, read the page, and then go back into Moshidon. It starts hanging and freezes then just crashes to desktop.

@pachli
Yes, you're right. Fedilab can query the public API of remote instances to fetch full conversations or profiles directly from the source. Especially useful for small instances with limited federation. On interaction, the search API (WebFinger) brings the post into the local instance so interactions work normally.

@pachli How is Pachli handling this? @tiefling @leanderlindahl
