Q1. Do users see Fediverse reply to questions from @AskUbuntu? Q2. Can you make "User-based answers" happen on Fediverse... Thanks!
@popey Hi popey, question please in more detail from the shorter CW title...
1. Do users see a reply to questions on Fediverse?... I tried to answer some but no answer (yet) and think that would be great.
Also you 'should' write that which ever way it works (many accounts like this say if replies are seen or if it doesn't reach the user asking).
2. I also wrote a longer thing for communities to actually allow a reply to help like this via Fediverse account ... but thought to check with you (now after writing so excuse me) if that is the case or can be done?
Below is copy of my writing to this effect about the usage of answers via Fediverse.... All is positive 
================================
Fediverse Help System for Ubuntu etc [Social Media / Crowd-based help for users / semi-officially)... ?
@AskUbuntu = great way to hear about Ubuntu problems from users as they ask... BUT currently can't answer via Fediverse... This would be GREAT!
IMAGINE you could answer also !
I did actually but no reply yet.
For example.. Someone if asked "how to XYZ" in Ubuntu someone could answer here since we have time and already "logged in" !
Currently I must log into their "other site" to answer - At this stage it's like "Why do I have to log in?" without sounding too pretentious or expecting everything (doesn't really seem needed and is it not enough to be on Fediverse and just ban people here?).
Right now appreciate the @AskUbuntu account here is like an echo for #Ubuntu problems and you have more control on your site for logged in comments, but people could also be pointed to Fediverse a generic footer added to site or posts.
Nobody wants / is likely to get an account other than those with problems (!) and for each site even less likely... so for adding simple social media type comments, can you make it so we can answer them here, even with disclaimer it's unofficial and by other fans?
So for other people take note of the Ubuntu account @askubuntu so official things like this can be solved by "User-based answers" FOR THE WAY" - or just one-way problems for now 🙄
================================
@askubuntu / #AskUbuntu <=== ALMOST -
BUT LET ME PEOPLE KNOW and say you're on #Fediverse to also get answers here as your social help system!
