I often want to look at users who I don't follow and who aren't in my instance. I understand that due to how activitypub works these toots don't load on my masto instance. But could Tusky add a button to load those toots from the destination instance?
For example @onview@collection.sfomuseum.org shows "nothing here" when viewed from my @mastodon.gamedev.place instance with Tusky. If you view their page they have lots of posts:
https://collection.sfomuseum.org/objects/onview
(This appears to be an unusual account that's new, has little interaction, and has a custom masto implementation.)
It would be awesome for Tusky to load their toots in the same interface as other toots. If that's not possible, then an obvious button to view the toots on the target instance. Currently this is hidden in Share > Share link to account> Firefox.
Motivation
A big frustration with Mastodon is that when you look at user pages and they have no toots. It makes it look like no one using masto. This shortcoming is an opportunity for clients to bridge this gap to act as a web browser and show the content the user is seeking.
