    1. @nerthos Federation issues?  I'm seeing your posts fine and Gamera is on my server originally.

      1. @maiyannah Yeah, I can see it just fine, I just have absolutely no idea how to repeat an old post from someone I don't follow.

        1. @nerthos Ahh, interface doesn't make stuff like that easy sometimes, or at least qvitter's doesn't, not sure about RDN's

          1. @maiyannah Well I've been using RDN for almost 5 years and haven't yet figured out if it's even possible, so yeah.

            1. @nerthos Well you can on AndStatus or via the API, but the qvitter interface at least doesn't present a good way to do so.

              1. @maiyannah How? it might work here too

                1. @nerthos The problem is that usually GNU social displays remote versions of posts, as long as you are looking at the local copy, repost/fav should work fine.

                  1. @maiyannah That only works if there IS a local copy, which requires being subscribed

                    1. @nerthos Any notice that hits your own server via any means, even a third party you do follow favouriting or retweeting it, will have a local copy.

                      But you're not wrong no, so if for instance you see a conversation that REPLIES to a notice and that's the only interaction, you can't repost the OP.  This is why I've been meaning to find a way to import the original context post locally in my GNU social fork.

                      1. @maiyannah The posts I wanted to repeat are replies to federated accounts, and only part of the conversation tree is saved over here, so there's no copy here.

                        1. @nerthos Yeah it's annoying that conversations get "fragmented" like that, for lack of a better word to describe it.

                  2. @maiyannah And even then finding the local copy of an old federated post is really hard

                  3. @maiyannah @nerthos I was looking at the code related to this, I think the notice has to be local for it to work as an anti-abuse mechanism.

                    1. @moonman @nerthos Yes, this is why I'd like to import whole conversations that hit the server rather than just the bits and pieces specifically directed at people.

                      My idea of having specific post scopes should also help alleviate and control post context control issues.
