Substitoot is a Chrome extension designed to improve your Mastodon experience by fetching missing replies to boosted toots directly from their source servers. It ensures you see all replies—both local and remote—in real time without delays, providing a more complete conversation context.

Features include fully interactive remote posts, up-to-date boost and favorite counts, and accurate retrieval of the latest 20 posts on any user's profile. Compatible with Mastodon versions 4.0 and up, Substitoot also supports fetching from Akkoma, Pleroma, Misskey, and related instances. The extension emphasizes security by making direct HTTPS requests to origin servers without sharing additional personal data.
