I’m trying to boost a reply to one of my lemmy comments on my mastodon instance. However, that comment does not appear to have been pushed to my fairly small Mastodon instance.
Pasting its url into mastodon does not work; it never finds anything. I tried the URL from my lemmy home instance, the post’s/community’s home instance and the reply’s user’s home instance. None of them worked.
The thread itself and my comment appear but none of the other ones.
What gives?
Is there a way around that?
The problem is that Mastodon, unlike Lemmy or Friendica, requires a mention of you to get a notification of a response, even if it’s your post. Plus, if you don’t have a follower from the instance of the user that replied (which is always the case if it’s a Lemmy-user), the reply won’t even appear.
I don’t see a solution for this.
