Some Friendica comments not making it through to Lemmy


2 of my recent Friendica comments (1 and 2) are not visible from Lemmy. In the case of the one published by a sopuli user, it is visible neitheir on Sopuli nor on lemmy.ml. Both are on the same community, but I managed to comment later on that community. Do you know what may have gone wrong?

@Liwott I think I understand the problem. I am able to reply on lemmy with this personal account, but I cannot reply with my account @Informa Pirata (which is an "organization" type friendica account), probably because on lemmy he can only write a personal account. Take away a curiosity, is your liwott@nerdica.net account an organization account (or maybe a sandbox account that works the same way)?
in reply to Franc Mac

Thanks for all the testing šŸ˜€

My account is "personal soapbox". But my account doesn't seem to be fundamentally problematic for lemmy, as most of my messages go through. I just noticed two of them who didn't.

NB : of course for #Nerdica I see all your comments, even the one who doesn't appear on Lemmy

Yes, all three of them (including the one that got through). One of those who didn't was posted by a user on a different instance. I'm noticing now that the two comments in question have in common that they carry hashtags, maybe that plays a role?

I thought that for a moment too but

  • that's only one of the two
  • it also does not appear when looking at the post in lemmy.ml

Can you tell me how to find the id of the create activity for these notes? Then i can check the server logs for errors.

By the way, i noticed that Friendica publicly lists all the users who liked or disliked a post. That is supposed to be private in Lemmy (only used to calculate the score).

You are right, Lemmy only supports Group, Person and Service (same as Person, but marked as bot). Does a Friendica Organization work in the same way as a Person?
in reply to nutomic

I did four tests from four accounts I own, all from the same friendica instance (poliverso.org):
1) OK from a personal account: lemmy.ml/post/219638/comment/1ā€¦
2) OK from a personal "sandbox" account: lemmy.ml/post/219638/comment/1ā€¦
3) OK from a "news" account: lemmy.ml/post/219638/comment/1ā€¦

**4) NOK from an "organization" type account: poliverso.org/display/0477a01eā€¦

It seems clear to me therefore that the problem lies in the fact that Lemmy accepts messages from the first three types, but not from an organization page.
I hazard a guess (but I'm not a technician): is it possible that the "organization" account type in friendica corresponds to a lemmy account type that is not compatible with the answers (perhaps it corresponds to the "community" lemmy account type)?

Hashtags seem to be the problem, at least that's what comes out from very simple tests I just ran :


This looks like pointless simple commenting, but the reason was very simple :
- tests 2, 3 and 6 were delivered to lemmy.ml instantaneously
- test 1, 4 and 5 are still underway, seemingly because
- 1 contains a hashtag
- 4 contained one, and editing it out didn't help
- 5 is a reply to 4

Hashtag seems to be the culprit
