Support / questions about Lemmy.
dms don't work across instances or software, but either way it's not working
not implemented yet.
But it seems to me that there shouldn't be any issues with the visibility of microblog posts:

I think they're specifically wondering if using @@ mention syntax will result in a notification popping up for the user on Lemmy.
I've been wondering that too (in the context of threads though) -- and if it does work, are there limitations regarding visibility between instances that people should be aware of. e.g. what happens if I @ someone in a post to a community on a lemmy server that is defederated from their home instance? Or, in a community that no one on their home server has subscribed to? Will they still get a notice?
I guess I don't really have a good mental model for how @ works on the Fediverse.
I will verify it thoroughly tomorrow, and if there is any issue on the /kbin side, I will have some free time to fix it. I'm almost certain that it used to work correctly in the past.
Good to know that microblog posts show up on lemmy, although it's a bit awkward that (if I'm seeing that correctly) they show up as regular threads there. I might mention them in a thread that's not as closely directed to them instead. Thanks for the reply. :)
Lemmy only supports posts which are inside of a community.
