Clicking a post or reply will take you to the full thread that it is part of. Once you're in the thread, you can scroll up or down to see the rest of the thread.

To see every branch of the thread, click on the post at the very top of the thread.

Yup, a deleted post (for whatever reason) would also explain it.

people can set their account so their posts automatically get deleted after a set amount of time. Could it be something to do with that?

Examples: Replies to restricted posts. Replies to a restricted server? (I'm not entirely sure what's happening in those cases.) Threads where the original poster was untagged.

Hmm... wonder if this is a bug? 🤔

If you come across this again, could you provide an example? I could report it if it's a bug.

I'm not sure how old it has to be before this starts happening.

You don't need to look at the original page any more, since version 4.5.0 Mastodon automatically fetches all replies in a thread no matter what server you are on.

In that case, try going to the three dots menu in the lower right and choose "Open original page." That usually works for me.

To see replies not in the subthread, click on the top message.

(This is the web interface, don't know about the apps.)

It works if the thread is public.

Sometimes you may see a reply to a non-public post, in which case you may only see the reply.

If it's a public thread but you can't see it, try refreshing the page, as this may trigger it into loading the rest of the thread.

Other times you can't see what it's a reply to.
