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?

If you use Misskey or whatever it calls itself now, it works well with Mastodon and okay with Lemmy.

If I had posted this on Miskey would that have allowed Lemmy users and Mastodon users to interact?

Eh. Not really very effectively. Misskey does a half decent job of talking to Mastodon and Lemmy, but Lemmy and Mastodon do a pretty poor job of talking to each other and I think Misskey is more compatible with Lemmy than Lemmy is with Misskey, if that makes sense.

Okay thanks for the info
