I think this is crucial, IMHO.
As far as I can tell, most Nostr users just block Mostr and Momostr as their "starting pack" instructions. And I don't necessarily blame them. Look at my past several comments to Mastodon users. I haven't heard back from a single one.
And when I go to those Mastodon instances, I never see my comment replies on the post that got "bridged." Did my post ever make it back to the original instance? Was it rejected for "reasons"? Was it ever seen by the user I replied to?

I will say that, as someone with more experience on Fedi than Nostr, that it isn't uncommon at all to run into reply threads where you can't see half of the participants because of your instance's defed list, so us being able to see these users at all is a step up in that regard, but I do agree that some kind of visual indicator to differentiate ActivityPub users that can interact with us from ones who can't would be a really good idea.
So let me get this straight... Is it the case that IF an instance federates with Mostr, then we SHOULD expect the bridge to be 2-way?
Or are there other aspects of the interaction (user preferences etc) that dictate this?
