Lmao why did you tag the OP in your reply ?

Edit: I did not know they were coming from mastadon and I had no idea their platform worked like that. Sorry!!!

They're posting from Mastodon so it comes through differently.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 18 points 4 days ago

Because thats how mastodon works and they are using mastodon

@PMmeTrebuchets am i not supposed to im new to mastadon and it just kinda auto did it

Perhaps it's the app you're using? I would say most people (at least on Lemmy, where I'm viewing this from) don't tag the OP unless there's something specific they want to draw their attention to or if they're calling them out specifically in a reply. They get notifications of all your comments so no real need to tag them. It's a lot like reddit in that respect (again, I'm on Lemmy, using the Voyager app. Another app might be different).

Edit: apparently that's a mastadon thing. Proceed.

wait does this site contain multiple platforms?

[–] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Am I stupid lmao I got here via Lemmy 😂

[–] Mallow@mastodon.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

it feels like communicating between dimensional planes

[–] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it's because both are in the "fediverse" so perhaps that's part of how that works

[–] Mallow@mastodon.world 5 points 4 days ago

I think I understand how this works now

Welcome to the magic of federation! This is how I'm seeing your posts: https://lemmy.ml/post/38812210/22162387

Basically, the Fediverse are lots of different sites that all use the same language (protocol), and some are able to talk to each other. So a Mastodon site (instance) like mastodon.world

  • can talk to another Mastodon instance (like mastodon.art, or techhub.social)
  • can talk to some other twitter-like platforms like Pleroma and Akkoma
  • can talk to instances of some other platforms including Lemmy and Mbin (reddit-like), Pixelfed (Instagram-like), Friendica (Facebook-like) and more
  • I'm not sure but I think you can like, comment and subscribe on PeerTube instances

I haven't kept up-to-date with what's possible and what isn't working yet, so I might have missed something.

oopsie daisy

I think it's okay, now I know apparently that mastadon just does that. I did not realize mastadon and Lemmy interfaced like this. Carry on! Enjoy your stay!

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

they're from a mastodon instance, on their end it's formatted like a twitter thread

[–] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I genuinely did not know that was a thing on mastadon!

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

yeah, it's pretty cool tbh
here's what the thread looks like

[–] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Wow that is just basically twitter. That makes a whole lot of sense! Thank you!
