Maybe it’s intentional — to start showing some replies after 20-odd posts in a thread? To show replies after 10% of the thread? To show replies as soon as they start showing up?

But the fact that there is

• a radically different view for the logged in and the non-logged-in user, and
• no obvious affordance to let the non-logged in user see the rest of the thread

is a major bug, I feel.

I don't think it's intentional, it's an odd way of doing it if it is.

The logged in or logged out isn't the issue, it's about which server you're viewing. The first link is a view from your server, the second link is a view from the server that the thread starter is on.

Different servers have different views of the Fediverse for very good reasons. If you're interested, there are details here:
