I noticed earlier today that @picard@mas.to post about Sweet Darusya isn’t showing on calckey and neither is another post by @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone. It turns out that if you put a link into URL field when making a new post, it might not show outside lemmy. It means that anyone who follows the group on calckey will not see them and therefore can not boost.
@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Followed the group in Akkoma so will report on there next time a post is added with URL - my understanding is old posts do not get populated when first followed, or something, so need to wait for a new one with URL.
Oh and still can’t reply to most posts in Lemmy, hence here from Mastodon.
@picard@mas.to @I_Like_Books@strangeobject.space @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone @dana@lemmy.blahaj.zone I definitely CAN reply in #Lemmy, only not to replies made in #Calckey or #Mastodon, because for some reason lemmy just spins forever and never posts the reply in those cases. But it definitely works fine replying to the original lemmy post, and to replies made in lemmy.
@toni@blahaj.zone @I_Like_Books @toni@lemmy.blahaj.zone @dana Oh well spotted - yes I think that’s what is happening for me too, couldn’t figure out why some replies with my Lemmy account worked and some didn’t…

@I_Like_Books @toni @dana Sorry, I meant when I reply using my Lemmy account. In theory you don’t need one to reply - like we just did now from Mastodon. But if you want to make longer replies or for other reasons you might use one. The group should boost any replies, and you can then boost those in Mastodon to spread if you want. I think this whole thing is kind of a work in progress though - in general we’re not used to working with software with so many quirks, but we’ll get there 😊
