This thread is for some common issues / weirdness you may encounter with your blog in the fediverse. Please feel free to ask any other questions here. Not finding your blog First, make sure you’re searching for your blog in one of these formats: @username@write.as username@write.as https://write…

Nope. They are completely separate accounts on separate servers.

so… if someone replies to my blog’s toot, where do the replies go? Can anybody read them? The answer may well be in @matt 's posts above. But they’re a bit opaque to me. I’ll look at them again .

If someone replies to your blog’s toot the reply shows up only in the commenter’s Mastodon account and nowhere else.

ok, beginning to understand Matt Baer (@matt@writing.exchange) @liaizon@wake.st so Remark.as is really just an experimental UI layer for commenting on Write.as-hosted posts. Behind the scenes, everything is Write.as/WriteFreely. When it's fully fleshed-out, I think all the social funct…

The same way you know it’s federated with any ActivityPub server I expect: most folks don’t.

How are you publishing your posts, @zoyander ? E.g. through the editor, or by importing posts? There is a known issue where imported posts won’t go out to the fediverse right now.

I believe you have to search for accounts to have them pulled into Mastodon initially (this is just the way it works on their end). I searched for your blog on mastodon.social (using its Write.as URL) and now that link seems to work!

I’m publishing through the editor (honestly not automatically publishing imports seems intuitive to me, to avoid bulk posts on Mastodon)
