I am commenting with my @humanetech@lemmy.ml account on https://lemmy.ml/post/346923
Then from mastodon.social several weird behavior:
- Searching on https://lemmy.ml/post/346923 doesn’t find anything.
- Searching on @fediversefutures doesn’t find anything (though search on @fediversefutures@lemmy.ml does)
- When opening @fediversefutures profile in the timeline, I do not see my @humanetech@lemmy.ml comments.
- But I do see comments from other lemmy.ml accounts replying to the same post.
- When I click such reply, the thread loads minus my own replies, and minus my top-level post, which isn’t in the timeline for @fediversefutures either when viewing from Mastodon UI (using my @humanetech@mastodon.social account).
Update
Thanks to some great help of @LemmyDev@mastodon.social in this toot I found out that my account was broken, because someone had later on created a community with the same name. There are open issues to handle such cases:
Since the community was inactive LemmyDev deleted it, and my account works again
@humanetech We also noticed this problem in the feddit.it instance and at the moment we solved it by maintaining the system we left when we created the instance: that is, the creation of new communities, upon request to the instance administrators.
@LemmyDev
In this way we achieve two objectives:
- preventive monitoring on the creation of communities with the same ID as existing users
- mutual knowledge between the administrators and creators of the communities
Ah, good workaround. Thank you.
