Is there a fix for, "This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete."
(media.thebrainbin.org)
I use Mbin because it seems to be the only software that provides subscriptions to Fediverse microblogs (e.g. from Mastodon) as well as subscription to Fediverse forums/communities/magazines (e.g. from Lemmy).
Unfortunately, when viewed from Mbin, Mastodon profiles often have the warning, This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. View on remote instance
Example: https://thebrainbin.org/u/@transitous@en.osm.town
What's the source of this issue? E.g. is it:
- Due to a choice by the admin of the Mbin server hosting my account?
- Due to a bug in Mbin?
- Something else?
Though about the instance itself doing backfilling by an automated worker, it could be pretty taxing on both the requesting and requested instances, so I worry communications may get timed-out or the requesting instance may inflate to the point storage becomes a big concern.
