Unless the person replying on Mastodon removes it of course (to save themselves some characters and because they don't recognise it).

There doesn't seem any functional difference between your comment (which implicitly Mentions the community), and the original post on thecanadian.social (which explicitly Mentions it). Screenies from activitypub.academy show that replies to both include both Mentions pre-filled.

https://thecanadian.social/@mike/116234121499688717 didn't remove the Mention, and so the comment made it to Lemmy. https://mstdn.ca/@cass_m/116234270845317774 did remove the Mention, and so it didn't.

Specifically for Lemmy btw, the reply at https://mstdn.ca/@cass_m/116234270845317774 demonstrates another problem - that instance requires a signed GET request for its actors, which hasn't been fully implemented AFAIK.

Afaik it's fixed now

The federating issues were solved iirc

@julian @a_gee_dizzle @rimu @nutomic @BentiGorlich @melroy I’m replying from mastodon, don’t you see it ?

Good idea, adding this to Lemmy.

@nutomic @julian oh wow thats great to hear. Gotta love a hack

though the Lemmy comments were visible to me on Mastodon, the reverse was not true: most of the Mastodon replies were not visible on Lemmy.

Yeah... That's a common federation issue. I haven't properly investigated but a hypothesis might be that the account that commented are on instances not federating with the Lemmy instance.

Here a community for you to do more test : !testfediverse@jlai.lu

Long story short if you’re not on the same instance as the community, Mastodon replies to you won’t make it to the rest of the threadiverse.

Oh... That explains a lot of. Thank you for sharing the cause and the solution (^_^)

Did you receive my email from last Thursday? Seems there might be some delivery problem.

This is a useful too, thank you

I see it

I tested this. It works perfectly fine. We can implement this today and remove it when Mastodon supports threadiverse conversations better (I’ll try to make that happen.)

Wow that’s a really proactive response, thank you! Please keep me posted on how it goes

About batched votes? Yeah I did, just haven't responded yet
