Earlier today I made a post on Mastodon and made it post to Lemmy as well, by @ing the community I wanted it to appear in. Here’s a link to the post on Mastodon, and here’s how it showed up on Lemmy. At first, everything seemed to work fine.

But something I noticed is that, 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. So there seems to have been some federation issues there.

So my question is, does anyone know what caused this and if so how I can fix it?

unless somethin new has happened, lemmy doesnt fully federate to mastodon/the twitterverse. interaction is very limited.

its one of the reasons i use mbin instead of lemmy

If I had made this post on kbin would the lemmy and mastodon users have been able to interact with one another?

It's more likely that the instance hosting the community would make the most difference. Try a PieFed community if you're interested.

I always an avid user of piefed.ca but I had to quit because most of my comments weren’t federating anymore due to some corrupted data issue

Edit: misread your comment. You jut mean posting to the community. Gotchu

Good to know thank you! Piefed seems to be doing a lot to help the fediverse grow, so thank you for your service 🫡

Now that the issue is fixed I need to make a new account or will it work with the old account too? Also I noticed that my profile photo from my old account isn’t federating haha, but that’s a very minor issue so I’m not too concerned about it haha

Thanks for all the hard work you put in for making a create social network (Piefed) and helping grow the fediverse 🫡 I appreciate it. Keep fighting the good fight
