posting on behalf of a user who is currently testing this on Beehaw:

I’m not quite sure which platform is at fault here. Lemmy interop with Mastodon needs work. Only replies from users I interact with through Mastodon get sent back to me. (Unless the user doing it is also interacting through Mastodon.) It’s workable for top-level comments and replying to the OP, but if anyone else on Lemmy asks you questions then you won’t see it and can’t reply. Seems like a big oversight.

I also think comment threading could stand to be more visually distinguished. It’s kind of irritating to follow currently.

i am decidedly not technologically versed enough to comment significantly on this, so i’m interested if people in the broader community have thoughts on these observations
