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.

    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.

    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.
