This is a really weird Mastodon bug/interaction. Why would one instance only have year-old stale data about a user on another instance? And I can’t reply to anything newer.
Someone sent me a link to someone else’s post on another instance. I can view that post.
But when I try to reply to it, I get an error from Mona saying it can’t find the post on the server, try again later. Using the web to reply gets a similar error.
When I go to the persons profile via Mona. I see about a dozen posts, but all from over a year ago.
When I tell Mona to load the profile from the remote server, I can see much more recent posts, including the one I wanted to reply to.
