I've got a question about the #Fediverse and how #Pixelfed & #Mastodon work together. Any insight appreciated!
I have a Mastodon account. I have a Pixelfed account.
Someone commented on a Pixelfed photo.
If I'm logged into Mastodon w/ Mastodon account, I can look at my Pixelfed account & see the comment.
If I'm logged into Pixelfed w/ Pixelfed account, I can NOT see the comment. I have a notification that this person "liked" my photo but NO notification about any comment.
What's going on?
@ikuo1000 that does sound strange.
In general there are issues with different content making it to different instances, that's expected, but normally the instance originating content being interacted with, with a comment for example, should be one of the few instances guaranteed to receive the interaction.
IOW, if I make a post on this instance and you comment on it, my instance should definitely receive the comment even though other instances aren't guaranteed to receive it.
Sounds like a bug or glitch somewhere to me.
@ikuo1000 maybe it's just taking a while to be processed and displayed.
ActivityPub does have a habit of overloading servers, so maybe the Pixelfed instance has it in the queue to be processed when it can.
@volkris Oh, interesting! I'll be sure to check again later and see if it pop up! Thanks.
@volkris Yes, if I could see the comment from my Pixelfed account, but NOT from my Mastodon account, I wouldn't have given it a second thought!
Thanks for weighing in, I appreciate it.
