Ok so this is likely one of my wierder experiences with the fediverse and is a bit of a story that ends with something wierd with https://piefed.social/topic/chilling/comics?sort=new&layout=list - So to sorta start this off I rarely post but had taken to posting a comic I like called devils panties to comicstrips@lemmy.world. One day when I clicked on replies to the comic I was getting 404 pages and I could not find the comic anymore. There was no notification or anything that it was removed but I checked the sidebar rules and it did not seem to break any. So I posted again and the same thing came back. I suspected that things can be removed without notice or such or just maybe something was breaking so posted to comics@lemmy.ml and that went fine. I changed to posting to comics@lemmy.ml but then noticed that the comic was being posted by someone else to comicstrips@lemmy.world. It did not show up greyed so it presumably was not a bot. I figured I would bow out as I was going to stop posting once I got a job as when working I tend to not be able to really get to anything even small like this (im not a good waker upper and I tend to be toast after work). The next day though no post was done by the other user so late before I went to bead I did the lemmy.ml post and one hour later it appeared in lemmy.world. Its been pretty consistantly one hour after. Anyway the whole thing made me feel pretty wierd but then today its sorta on another level. When perusing https://piefed.social/topic/chilling/comics?sort=new&layout=list I see the duplicates the user does to lemmy.world but I don’t see my original posts to lemmy.ml but I do see another comic posted to lemmy.ml and if I go directly to comics@lemmy.ml I see my post. Anyone have any idea whats going on???

    PieFed is already aware and makes available the complete list of where all the cross-posts are, but if the authors of such could be listed out specifically (without needing to click to see), it may help encourage posting more often?

    Mbin does this already.

      Yes it do encourage people posting more, it’s important as it recognize them as part of the communicatiom/community chain.

      Awesome for Mbin, i’m kinda sad that Mbin isn’t as popular as Lemmy given their features.

      Also, how we handle moderation is a keypart to invite users to post more often. I think sometime we ban users too much instead of asking them to rephrase their comments or posts.

        Agreed, agreed, and agreed.:-)

        For the longest time there was no app for Mbin, which some people seem to deem necessary (I have no idea why? Firefox is an “app”:-). There is now Interstellar for it, but it lost momentum and not many use it (Mbin I mean, though surely even only a subset of Mbin users also use Interstellar).

        I for one have no need of Mastodon, and don’t really like the web UI of Mbin (even though moving to the Threadiverse from Reddit, my first instance was Kbin.social). I much prefer PieFed:-).
