I noticed an odd behavior today and it has me wondering how things work. So far I’ve exclusively used wefwef for 100% of my Lemmy experience. I can click on my profile and it shows all my comments. As expected.

Last night, I saw that Memmy had been released, and I wanted to check it out, so downloaded it and was poking around, and while I was using it I saw I had a notification that someone had replied to an earlier comment of mine I had made (from wefwef) so I ended up hitting reply and posting a comment from Memmy.

Now that I’m back on wefwef, when I click on my profile, I don’t see the reply I made using Memmy. I can click on my inbox, see the reply that someone else made to me, click on that to pull up all the comments, and I see the reply I made in response in the comment section. I can even click on the profile of the person that made it (me) and it pulls up my profile with all the other comments I’ve made, but not the one that I made from Memmy.

This is…weird. And not expected. It’s not a super big deal, and I’m mainly just posting out of curiosity for wanting to know how things work. I’m sure it has something to do with the Fediverse or instances or whatnot and might even be something that is out of control, but I thought it was weird that from within wefwef, I can see the comment I made and it’s even associated with me, but it doesn’t show up in the comments section of my profile. Is this a bug, or expected behavior?
