Hello from Lemmy.world

[rollforinitiative@feddit.org]

I see your reply on lemmy!

[pglpm@lemmy.ca]

Thank you for letting me know! If this was the reply you mean, then unfortunately it was from Lemmy :( I still can't see the reply I sent from Mastodon. Maybe just using the "reply" button there isn't enough?

the images are not loading for us, maybe it's because of the maintenance mode?

You might have to tag the community for it to show up.

Thanks for the tip! let me try that :)

Actually I fear that if I tag the community, my reply might appear as a new post in the community, rather than a reply in a previous post.

According to this source it may happen that replies from Mastodon simply don't show up.

I put together a brief explainer here 🙂
