When it's done loading it will show a little pop up message "Show more replies" or similar, click on the message to view all replies in the thread.

In the old days it didn't do this and threads looked different on every server, but since Mastodon 4.5.0 it fetches all replies in a thread, so threads now look the same on every server.

It should always work on the web client if your server is running 4.5.0 or higher.

It should work on Tusky too (although there may be an intermittent bug: https://codeberg.org/tusky/Tusky/issues/5176), I wonder if it is fetching them but not notifying the user about it like the web client does?

Ain't nobody got time for that. I didn't live through the age of 9600 baud modems to wait 5 seconds for a thread. No sirree Bob. Now I just plug the CAT6 straight into my ear. It doesn't work and doesn't feel good, so I can't tell you why I do it. Wait, what was the question again?

Plus for me the popup spawns *just* far enough down that I can't actually click Show; I have to click out of the thread and back in to load the other replies.

Also, it's only partially true that threads look the same on all servers. If a server blocks or limits another server, that will cause a difference.
