My discoverability gripe with Mastodon UI(s) (web, Tusky, Mastodon app) as a single-user instance: when someone boosts a post from someone I don't follow, I only get to see the boosted post and its immediate parents.
In order to see more context / discussions, I have to "jump out" of the app and "Open in browser". This opens the web UI not from my instance, but from the OP instance, and includes followup comments that are public. There's no way (that I know of) to "pull" that into my instance.
