Description

Tooot (iOS and android app) has a very cool feature where it will fetch replies from the origin server when browsing replies for a specific tooot. https://github.com/tooot-app/app/issues/638

Having something like this in Ice Cubes would make for a great experience, especially if you’re on a smaller instance, since you will not see all replies otherwise.

Research direction

Trace the existing reply-loading flow in the iOS and Android client context, then verify that replies from the origin server appear when local results are incomplete.
