This seems less a technical problem than a human one. Specifically, the need to avoid dispersal and fragmentation. If there are 5 different knitting communities, then the real problem is that there are 3 or 4 too many knitting communities and they should merge.

    That still only shows replies the server knows about, this article is about making sure all replies to a post are present on all servers.

    FEP-1b12 (Group ferderation) kinda already alleviates this, our part of the fediverse doesn't really suffer from the missing replies problem, but it's a solution that doesn't work well with microblog platforms.
