Interesting federation jank between Mastodon and multiple nodeBB sites

I was looking at [this post](https://community.nodebb.org/topic/d9a56cb0-3d17-4d72-a9f7-592421e1c9d1/what-s-a-good-lightweight-good-moderation-tools-foss-forum-system-these-days) from my own forum (nBB 4.0.3) via various vectors, and trying to pull it in from here resulted in a couple of hiccups. 1) Searching the posts community.nodebb.org URL did not pull the post and its comments. Naturally, searching the original URL works fine (though does not fetch the comments, naturally) 2) Fetching *my* comment from that post *does* fetch the post and full comment chain, but *your* comment, [@julian](https://community.nodebb.org/user/julian), is surprisingly empty ([link](https://chebucto.club/topic/da972ef2-9ab5-40d0-8b0f-3cfe7f410554/the-masochist-in-me-is-wondering-if-running-a-forum-to-act-as-a-meeting-point-for-questions-and-self-help-around-the-onlinesafetyact-and-to-aid-coordination-might-be-useful.../4?_=1739386935891))  Just thought you'd like to know.

I wonder if it is related to the recent change that showed an "in reply to" bar above a post? I've noticed that that is sometimes empty too. > Searching the posts community.nodebb.org URL did not pull the post and its comments. It should've, what URL did you specifically try to pull? This URL should pull the entire topic: * `https://community.nodebb.org/topic/d9a56cb0-3d17-4d72-a9f7-592421e1c9d1/what-s-a-good-lightweight-good-moderation-tools-foss-forum-system-these-days` This URL (the original post's original URL) should pull only the OP: * `https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/users/neil/statuses/113991455813168788` ---- As for my comment being empty, does it come back if you restart your NodeBB? Not that you should need to, just want to see...

[@julian](https://community.nodebb.org/user/julian) That's the URL I've tried to use. It just won't fetch it for some reason. But if I search any of the comments, it'll pull it in just fine. https://community.nodebb.org/post/103252, for instance, pulls the whole thread in. Restarting nodeBB renders your missing comment, though!

[@Kichae](https://community.nodebb.org/user/kichae) thanks, will have to play around a bit to see what's going on.

[@Kichae](https://community.nodebb.org/user/kichae) the github issue is here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13172 I think I found the source of the problem and fixed it. Try updating to the latest `master` or `develop` commit and see if it still happens.

I can no longer reproduce the issue!
