Add button to fetch recent posts when posts aren't viewable on a profile #1262

Consider providing a button that triggers a GET request to the outbox of a user, per discussion on

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/17213

The button would live on a profile whenever the "Older posts are not viewable" message appears due to inadequate federation, and it would attempt to fetch the last ~10 messages from the user's outbox.

Will this be just for empty profiles? Or will it allow to get older toots from a user, too?

dariusk commented 1 year ago

@DiegoARL38 This is for profiles that appear empty because the posts in the profile are too old.

Don't forget to fill in unfilled messages from remote users, to avoid random message holes in user profiles.

dariusk commented 1 year ago

@danog This is not what this issue is about. This is for when you browse to a specific user's profile page and want to backfill manually what is in there. This issue is not about discovering a new user and automatically filling in their profile.
