    Does anyone know if mastodon broadcasts replies to posts?

    I (possibly naively) assumed I'd catch an ActivityPub `Create` event on my server when someone replied to a post created on my server, but nothing's arriving 🤷

    How are people learning about replies to their posts? What am I doing wrong?

    @paulgc@mastodon.social nope! Replies are only received by your server if they're sent them by the person replying.

    On Mastodon this usually takes the form of a mention. When a user is mentioned on Mastodon, they are de facto addressed as well.

    In turn, that means the activity is delivered to those addressed users.

    If a mastodon user replies to your post but does not mention you, then you will not be receiving that reply. (I think.)

    @paulgc@mastodon.social realistically, however, most software is incentivized to actually address replies to the person they are replying to. Otherwise, they wouldn't get it and there wouldn't be any point to replying, right? 😂
