Sometimes I have a missing avatar from a person in my feed.
Not someone I follow, but rather from someone a person I follow have boosted.

When this happens, I can go to the web interface and paste "example.com/@theusername" in the search box, and my instance will fetch the missing avatar.

It seems Mastodon could do a better job here at retrying to fetch missing avatars.

I have no such issue. Do you use S3 or local files? You should also check your cleanup/content retention settings.
