i dont think backfilling is too bad tbh? you can call the listRepos endpoint on a relay to get a list of pds's to crawl and then just manually fetch relecant info from there?

sync1.1 did make it harder to backfill but its a worthwile tradeoff to make more of the network cheap to selfhost

Feels like it is too much to crawl all PDS for that info? Would be nice to be able to publish a “hey, any PDS listening, if you happen to have entries related to this post please share” or something like that?

That’s great! Thanks for sharing. I did some tests some days ago with an alternative appview and a very old post and it indeed missed some likes and such. I hope this starts to get implemented widely in the future.
