are you sure youre viewing the post on your home instance? are you utilizing a specific app for lemmy?
post
I can't say I've ever had that happen to me, so I don't know what to tell you. But you'll probably want to add some information to your post, such as:
- Are you on a PC or mobile device
- What browser or app you're using for Lemmy
- Are you using the default UI or an alternate like Photon or Alexandrite (I don't know if any of the apps give you a choice or if this is only applicable in a browser)
- Screenshots showing the steps to reproduce the issue
And also what instance the original post is on that you would like to comment to. Could this maybe be some kind of one-sided federation issue? Where posts get federated to your home instance, but replies grom your home instance are not being accepted by OP's instance?
In that case the reply should still appear on their own instance.
Oh, I did not realize that it worked this way. I always figured the reply object would have to first be created on the post's original server (simply listing the reply creator as being from a foreign server) and then federated outwards from the post's original sever again. I did not realize that replies could be directly created on foreign servers, as from the viewpoint of the original post server.
When replying make sure you're still on your own instance. So lemmings.world should be in the address bar. If you are on another instance you should be able to get to the same post by searching for the URL on your own instance.
