Hi guys,
There is an “issue” that I’m experiencing lately, and I don’t know why exactly.
Sometimes a user has a question that I would like to answer for them, so I click reply, but then the instance that user is on asks me to create an account. So it’s basically asking me to create another account for that specific instance even though I’m using a Lemmy account to write this post.
My question: Why is this happening, and shouldn’t we be able to react to one another?
Im using:
- Lemmings.world via web for my pc/laptop (I use Mint by the way :P)
- Voyager an client which can be found on fdroid for Android.
- Default UI
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.
