This may be a problem with fedi/mastodon itself.

Problem A

These three posts are a reply chain, but you cannot see the 2 and 3 posts in the replies to 1. You can see 1,2,3 from 2 and 3.

1. https://octodon.social/@craigmaloney/111926434774366874
2. https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/111926478069997103
3. https://orbital.horse/@emma/111926547684004289

External servers such as toot.cafe appear to be able to see all three:
https://toot.cafe/@[email protected]/111926435093871758

This is reflected in unroller. Going to /tree/{1} does not show 2,3. Going to /tree/{2} shows 2,3 (parents not shown). Going to /tree/{3} shows 3 (parents not shown). Viewing /tree/toot.cafe/{1} shown 1,2,3.

Problem B

Viewing /tree/{3} shows this post by @[email protected]. This post is missing when viewing /tree/toot.cafe/{1} and /tree/toot.cafe/{3}.

This shows toot.cafe doesn't have a full copy of the conversation either, though this is expected. I thought the original post's instance would have a full copy of all the children, no matter how deeply nested though it appears they don't (as shown by problem B). It also appears that original post's instance can miss a direct reply, as shown in problem A.
