I have a #Fediverse #ActivityPub question:
Why doesn't my client ( #mastodon or #pixelfed ) automatically load the comments from the original page so that all comments are visible?
Is there a technical reason?

in reply to treefit • • •deleted my previous comment because I realized you are probably asking about mobile clients, not the browser. A mobile client should have more flexibility there. But load is possibly a concern (although that's just a characteristic of ActivityPub). And many servers require signing which in all cases I can think of is managed by your server (not the endpoint) so the request would still have to be handled by your server.
It's doable, but complicated.

in reply to Justin Thomas 🛡 • • •If CORS is configured correctly I see not much reason why it shouldn't also work in the browser.
Maybe the IP grabber protection argument, but hey A. you might click on links anyway and B. fediverse servers could provide a simple http proxy to tunnel the requests to other instances, this should be cheap because it is just traffic, not much other resource usage? at least compared to caching everything in the own databases - http proxy could also have some simpler caching as optimisation
