Request: fetch replies from other servers on local posts

[SleepyCatten]

Situation:
You make a post that gets boosted and liked (favourited a lot), so you want to see all the replies to it.

The issue:
Substitoot does not pull replies from other servers. Instead, it gives the message "local" and doesn't pull in replies 😞

Request:
Add functionality (perhaps toggleable?) to pull all replies from other servers, so you can see all replies made to your post.

Rationale:
Not being able to see all replies when going on a post makes it more difficult to engage. You may have to check through lots of notifications to find one comment that someone added that you cannot find, as it's not loaded.

Well, the issue with that is that for any post the source for the actual list of replies is the home instance of that post.

So if your own instance for some reason isn't showing you all the replies, there's nowhere else for me to check for that 🤷

Hmmmm. Maybe it's some issue with Mastodon / Glitch-SOC or how our server is configured in terms of storing replies to posts on our instance from other instances. Thank you nonetheless for such a quick reply.
