difficulty replying to comments
I'm having difficulty replying to the comment in my post https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/745908 .
This was my first attempt at replying to a comment (I just had my first success creating a top-level comment on a post -- not sure if/how that's different)
Not sure if the problem I'm running into is because of my web-browser or system (Linux desktop), or because of something about the nature of the comment I'm trying to reply to (appears to originate in Mastodon-land).
Any ideas? Maybe someone feels like trying to respond to the comment and give me a "Works For Me" response?
Edit: It seems to work just fine in this post. Still interested if someone other than me could try replying in the other thread/post.
I've been running into a similar issue. I click Post and get the activity spinner on the button. Then nothing. I've had this occur on three or four threads. Closing the tab and opening a new instance / reloading the page in the existing tab does not solve the issue. It appears to be local to specific posts / threads. I haven't tested to see if I can reply to a different comment on the affected threads.
I ended up sending a DM to someone because I couldn't reply in the original post. I linked to it. I just confirmed that I still couldn't reply to that post. Here's a screenshot.
Okay, it appears to be a very specific failure--I was able to respond to other comments in the thread but not the one posted by KD.
Now I'm thinking it's probably a Mastodon-to-Lemmy thing. KD's comment (appears to have) came from Mastodon.
I've been having exactly this problem on both the web client and from Memmy, an iOS client, while trying to reply to this local post. It was posted by someone from a Mastodon domain, so maybe related to @bsammon's idea.
