@ultimape First: you're on mastodon.social, so you're on yet /another/ instance than either @webmink or myself. The fact that you see all six posts would indicate that someone on .social followed him earlier. Such as, say, @unixbhaskar one of Simon's followers.

Not necessarily. Mastodon is awesome enough that it can pull in missing messages when you're reading a conversation. -
Hallå Kitteh (clacke@social.heldscal.la)'s status on Thursday, 13-Apr-2017 07:04:39 UTC Hallå Kitteh @dredmorbius Old posts in general don't creep in, but if @a@a writes something, @b@b replies, @c@c reads @b@b's reply and wants to see the whole conversation, @a@a's OP will get pulled into instance c. Presumably. I haven't experimented. -
