Etc.)In the hopefully unlikely absence of still further errors, it should then be immediately readable -- although I believe *replying* to such a thing still results in that remote-to-you server telling your Mastodon client to take you back to your home server to make the reply.I forget if I always have to actually follow the person who posted as an additional step in that reply.
