@infosecpub So that *immediately* propagated the reply TO the infosec.pub post. COOL! Replying to the post within Lemmy still seems to be struggling though...
@infosecpub So for people who want to interact with #Lemmy from your existing #mastodon identity, it looks like you have some decent options. What's interesting is this worked from my infosec.exchange account but when trying to post directly to infosec.pub from my mastodon.social account, it did not work. Could be a mastodon.social issue?
- Replying to it from a different account DID work in adding a reply to the infosec.pub post.
@jerry - fascinating behavior(s) here...
@infosecpub Seems like a potential usability disaster imo. If people wise up to the ability to post to Lemmy instances (or infosec.pub specifically if the issue is isolated to that instance) from Mastodon than anyone who's using Lemmy natively won't be able to interact with that post. There's no way of really easily seeing that it is of Mastodon origin outside inspecting the OP's user info (which will denote I came from infosec.exchange). You can, as the OP respond to reply threads but for standard reply-ee's you can only see/respond to the reply threads you started.
For those who don't want to have separate identities across all these Fediverse services I can see the attraction of the cross-posting from Mastodon--> Lemmy but this is def an issue.
@jerry not sure if this is something tweakable on the Lemmy server either fixing the ability to respond to Mastodon-originated posts within Lemmy or disabling the ability to do this from Mastodon completely until it is sorted out by the Lemmy devs.
@shellsharks @infosecpub One last funny thing I noticed (then I swear I'm done testing this for now), when you upvote a post on Lemmy (which still works despite replies being borked), it propagates to Mastodon as a star. How whimsical!
