The linked picture shows how it looks in Lemmur, but looking at it via the web client doesn’t show the @sopuli.xyz association for either the user or the post itself. What’s going on here?
This is a bug in lemmur, it shouldn’t be showing posts from !technology@sopuli.xyz in the !technology@lemmy.ml community. Open up an issue in their repo if you would.
edit: if its this post, it also might be a naming issue, because that post is actually on !technology@lemmy.ml
This post seems to be originally from the sopuli instance: https://sopuli.xyz/post/3203, so lemmur displays the origin instance host. Isn’t that the expected behavior?
The community that post is to is actually !technology@lemmy.ml .
Yep, that’s the post. OP appears to be registered @sopuli.xyz if you hover over their name on that post, and their profile here on @lemmy.ml indicates that they’re registered on @sopuli.xyz as well.
Also one of their communities, !suomi, is listed on @lemmy.ml, but appears as !suomi@sopuli.xyz.
It doesn’t look to me like a Lemmur issue, but obviously I’m no expert!
I don’t see the problem. People at sopuli.xyz are allowed to post to !technology@lemmy.ml. In fact I don’t see a
!technology@sopuli.xyzcommunity https://sopuli.xyz/search/q/technology/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/page/1.People at sopuli.xyz are allowed to post to !technology@lemmy.ml.
Oh sure, I don’t mean I have any objection to their participation. I’m just trying to understand how Lemmy works, and I’m confused by the differing instance identifiers for this post, user, and community.
In fact I don’t see a !technology@sopuli.xyz community
Curiouser and curiouser! It does look like !suomi is on sopuli.xyz, though. The one on Lemmy was deleted.
The issue here is that the user is in sopuli, so Lemmur assumes “oh, they must be posting on a sopuli instance too” which is not the case. This is a bug with Lemmur
People from any instance can perfectly post on communities from another instance as long as they allow federation with each other, that part’s perfectly normal and a sign that things are working fine
so Lemmur assumes “oh, they must be posting on a sopuli instance too”
Actually no, we take the origin host of the post and display that. I think we misunderstood what origin host in the API actually indicates, I will have to investigate. This misunderstanding might manifest itself in more places
Ohhh, I see. Thanks for the correction!
