@GuyDudeman hey, the comment actually got to me this time, nice to know it was probbaly more of a federation issue for that server
anyway, seems that for lemmy, it just goes to the first mentioned group (not any others) for now.
@crossmr thanks for this post, this server has been involved in spam for almost two months so I alerted the microblog side of fedi
I noticed dnc@vive.im was followed by two kbin.social users, and kbin has an "interesting" feature where a microblog post goes into the magazine named after its first hashtag (if it exists), hence why your subs are getting them
i think the two kbin.social users might have followed this user by mistake. i checked their profiles and they both look legitimate to me.
@ulu_mulu I noticed; however interestingly my server didn't get sent the comment (probably because I don't follow the group, or maybe because I'm too impatient)...
I guess for lemmy something like this would be an edge case though?
@anirbanbiswas I know you can on kbin (and all remote posts that aren't in a magazine go into a "random" magazine)
I'm not sure if you can on lemmy. Reading the documentation, you should be able to paste their URL into the search box, but it's not working for me on your server (although I'm not logged in there so that may be the reason why).
@wason not sure about lemmy. i know kbin has support with its microblog functionality and how any post coming in from a remote server that isn't to a group goes to a "random" magazine
@Zeth0s Not sure about lemmy, but I know you can from kbin (it has a "microblog" section for that)
@DarkTides that's one of the great things about using an open protocol
sure the UX is basically non-existent, but it works!
hopefully a better client will happen eventually to make it easier for people to understand.
@DarkTides yeah! they both work with activitypub!
I don't follow any groups/magazines/whatever directly from mastodon (because they'd clog my feed).
However, you can copy the post or comment links, paste them into the search bar in mastodon, and then boost/favourite/reply :)
It's a little bit awkward, but you get used to it.
Favourite in mastodon turns into an upvote on the lemmy/kbin side. Boost doesn't really do much on lemmy/kbin (yet) but does increase reach on the mastodon side as it always does.
And replies, naturally, show up as you'd expect :)
