@julian Great to see you working on it! My primary use case would be reading from Mastodon, any level of automatic retrieval would be an improvement.

I can see why you’re excited about the new federation features, but whoa did you create a lot of work for yourself 😆

As you can see, mentions are pretty good at getting messages delivered both ways. The problem is getting messages that aren’t replies to “real” forum posts. Try moving a big thread from somewhere on mastodon into a subforums and see what happens.
