Hello, I'm currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I'd appreciate it. :)

[Edit] does anybody know if nodeBB has a way to prevent federated upvotes from contributing to forum member specific reputation points?

[This reply is from Lemmy] I replied from Mastodon, but can't see my reply on Lemmy ๐Ÿค”

Thank you for letting me know! If this was the reply you mean, then unfortunately it was from Lemmy :( I still can't see the reply I sent from Mastodon. Maybe just using the "reply" button there isn't enough?

You might have to tag the community for it to show up.

Actually I fear that if I tag the community, my reply might appear as a new post in the community, rather than a reply in a previous post.

According to this source it may happen that replies from Mastodon simply don't show up.

as long as it's a reply to another post I've never seen that happen when mentioning the community. What the linked post says is certainly true though, the federation between some platforms like Lemmy or WP and Mastodon doesn't always seem to be as solid as it is between Mastodon instances or even other platforms that regularly interact with Mastodon.

You were perfectly right, it worked! ๐Ÿฅณ Thank you so much for this extremely useful advice!

@73ms

OK let me try replying from Mastodon then. If I get it correctly now, the important point is to include also a reference to the community. So now I add that and let's see... Sorry for using your post for this test.
