#experiment tagging @mozilla @mozilla @firefox @firefox to see if this post shows up on #lemmy .

Apparently your mastodon posts show up on Lemmy under the right circumstances (tagging a Lemmy community). 🤞

Edit: if I remove the tagging, will the post magically disappear from Lemmy too?

Edit:
For mastodon users wondering about this, here's the corresponding Lemmy thread: https://lemmy.ml/post/13358920

Mastodon thread for Lemmy users: https://fosstodon.org/@thegreybeardofthetree/112120405122806398

@mozilla @firefox

Just confirmed it does! Now does a #Mastodon reply create a new post, or is it a reply to the original? I will find out soon!

@mozilla @firefox
Answer found: it is a reply to the original post!

Further, an upvote on #lemmy is a boost on #mastodon.

What's weird is that the boost seems to come from the community it was posted to, not the Lemmy user that upvoted it.

I wonder what happens when there are multiple upvotes ... Multiple boosts by the and community (e.g. @firefox)?

@mozilla @firefox I see multiple upvotes, but only one boost.

Further, the boost only seems to apply to the top post, not to the replies.

#curiosity solved by #experimentation . Feel free to add more #observations .

To #science 🥂

Even better - you can see the whole thread from both #lemmy and from #Mastodon . However, you only see the conversation, not upvotes/downvotes in mastodon, while you see votes too in Lemmy.

Edit: I tried to not tag @firefox this time to see if my reply showed up on Lemmy. It didn't.

Tagging so the Lemmy thread also shows the reply and pictures.

Edit++: so retroactive tagging doesn't work ☹️...nvm, it just took a bit of time to update!

++Edit++: pictures only show in the top post 😔

Well that's odd, what if it's a different user that's commenting? Maybe all the boosts went to the top post because it was all by the same user

@otter @firefox
I noticed that the boost seems independent of upvote, though I don't have enough experimental data (aka spam) to verify my hypothesis.
