I found one under communities so far and if you're curious it's [email protected] It appears to work just like any other community.

However, when I commented, it didn't appear on his Wordpress blog but it did appear under "community post". He had a comment on his blog that didn't appear in the community. It might be an issue of synchronization?

Not sure if it's a typo or a front-end rendering issue. But I see your link wrong. The correct one would be:
[email protected]

For lemm.ee:
https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]

OK, thanks! I must have mangled it when I pasted it.

How did you get lemm.ee to connect to it? I cannot open it on my instance; it just gives me "The server returned this error: couldnt_find_community." When I try to run a search it just brings up these comments. I think the URL format in the community name is breaking Lemmy, but clearly it worked on your instance so I'm confused.

This URL loads but gives me that error: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/[email protected]

This link doesn't work correctly: [email protected]

I didn't do anything special, just typed the correctly fomatted link (as yours).

It doesn't work on bookwormstory.social either (pointed out here). Being it a new feature, bugs are expected.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good try, bot. Good try.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Huh it works on lemm.ee, lemmy.ca, and even the canonical instance .ml. But not on bookwormstory.social.
I wonder why that would be? But also, I'm not really worried. Maybe 0.19.0 will fix whatever's broken.

Are comments from other platforms supposed to appear beneath blog posts like that? I suppose it depends on how WordPress has implemented their federation. If it is supposed to work, it might also depend on how often WordPress pulls in information from other sources; I wonder what their default federation settings are? Does a blog automatically federate everywhere? Or would they have a more allow-list model to prevent comment sections becoming a moderation nightmare for blog authors?

I suppose I should look this up 😇

EDIT: “and, in turn, receive replies from those platforms that are transformed into blog comments.”

So it might be a matter of how often that blog’s “cron” tasks run (background processing that runs on a timer), and perhaps if the blog author allows comments (from the fediverse and otherwise) and if they have to manually approve them before they display.

I see it too, tried subscribing. I see one post, and no comment from you
