[scojjac] Fun, got a comment from micro.blog that shows in my dashboard but not on the post page. šŸ˜’

[scojjac] Typically responses from micro.blog show up as comments, but today I have a post where they show as mentions instead. Kind of odd.

#
[chrisaldrich] [scojjac] Was it a reply to one of your posts or a post from someone else that included your @name? If it was the former, then it'll likely be a vanilla mention, likely to your homepage, and that would be expected behavior.
#
[chrisaldrich] Sorry, eating and typing, I meant latter, not former.
#
[chrisaldrich] If you have a URL of the post that sent the mention, that would help track down what happened.
#
[scojjac] [chrisaldrich] mm food ā€¦ upon further inspection, I see what you're getting at ... my post was a reply, when they replied back, MB treated it as a u-in-reply-to _their_ original post - so I got mentioned but the comment doesn't display
#
[scojjac] My initial reply: https://scojjac.com/2021/03/1403/
#
[scojjac] Their reply back https://micro.blog/dandycat/11176310
#
Loqi [Scott Jack] @dandycat Iā€™m glad the Magic Keyboard is working for you! We moved several times when I was younger and I think I was in 3 typing classes by end of 6th grade. I love the clackety-clack. āŒØ šŸŽµ
#
[scojjac] The other weird thing about my reply post that I need to sort out is that MB posted it twice: first the .response part inserted by Post Kinds, then my actual text that I wanted to reply with.
#
[scojjac] Your RSS button makes me feel smart Chris - 'the raw RSS feed is for advanced users only'
#
[chrisaldrich] I think [manton] and GWG have parsing out the reply context of posts on their to do list for syndicating replies to m.b.
#
[scojjac] I can be patient - the last thing I want is to be a source of pressure - I'm enjoying the tweaking and all
#
[chrisaldrich] Not sure if it's worth the effort, but if you know how, you can always go into your database and tweak the received webmention to attach it to the correct post and display as a reply rather than a mention.
#
[scojjac] eek
#
[scojjac] who knew i'd become a DBA just by running a personal website haha
#
[chrisaldrich] In the admin UI, you can edit comments and there's a drop down toggle for changing the reply type (bookmark, like, reply, etc.) but I don't think there's an easily editable field for linking the comment to other posts.

GWG_ There could be
#
[scojjac]1 The thing is, it shows as a mention for that particular post I made, but it shows as a "mention" type instead of displaying the content of the comment
#
[scojjac]1 I have MySQL Workbench set up now, but nothing obvious sticking out yet. Think I'm gonna roast some coffee and come back to it later.

GWG_ We really need to get the upgraded parser out the door
