    What happens if that remote post/comment has not made its way to my instance? One of the things I like about Lemmy is that if a remote post/comment is not federated to me, I can just search its URL in my instance’s search box. If that remote instance is not blocked or anything, my instance should be able to find and federate that post/comment.

        Is there currently a way for me to force an on-demand pull in Piefed as a basic user?

          On the search page, there is a button down at the bottom that says retrieve remote post. Click that, pop in the canonical url of a post/comment, and piefed will try to fetch it. One caveat is that you won’t be able to fetch a comment unless any comments further up the chain have already federated over.
