      This is a Pixelfed post and that’s how those posts work. It is able to feed into Lemmy by specifying a community, where it is shared as an image link.

      You can go to OP’s instance and see the difference, which is pixelfed.crimedad.work

        For some reason this breaks the way my app (Voyager) identifies OP. It usually gives them a blue color to make it easier to spot OP in the comments, but here OP is not marked. Interesting.

          OP is responding to comments on their Lemmy account (via lemmy.crimedad.work) so the system acknowledges them as two separate accounts. The post was opened by the Pixelfed account and they are commenting through the Lemmy account.

          For now at least there is no way to link accounts in the system and flag them as the same person so that’s why that’s happening.

      Maybe this way it’s searchable on other parts of the Fediverse, like Mastodon? I have no idea actually, but maybe?
