I can see a reply in my timeline on Mastodon but I don’t know the context. How do I see the discussion it belongs to?

Just click on any post or reply to be taken to the original discussion thread it belongs to. This will show you the original post and its replies.

Is there any way to see the most complete version of the thread?

Because of the way servers federate together, your server may not always show all the replies in a conversation thread. You can see the most complete version of a thread by using original pages:

  1. Click on the original post of the thread, at the very top
  2. Click on ⋯ for the original post of the thread
  3. Select the option Open original page, which will open the thread on the website of the original poster’s server
