it could be that your instance doesn't have the post (e.g. no one else in the instance is following the account). Fediverse stuff is weird in that regard where it won't fetch them from the other server either, but they will show up going forward if you follow the account.

I assume it's through activity pub - that's how pixelfed and mastodon communicate as well.
What I'm not sure of is if beehaw uses activity pub internally or it's just there for fediverse integration.
Pre Twitter takeover this would have been surprising. Now seems par for the course.
