WP replies not federating back out?

@pfefferle@mastodon.social context also doesn't seem to contain the replies

@julian this is not a bug in the context handling, but the account @evan uses to respond. he replies with his main WordPress.com account which is not part of the blogs domain and therefore not federated, so the comment is handled as a local only comment.

@pfefferle@mastodon.social ah thank you for your time and attention

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@pfefferle @julian oh! How do I fix that?

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@evan @julian I have to check that after my holidays.

this is a tricky edge case that is very special for dotcom and other multi-site installations.

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@evan are you logged in to your site or only to wordpress.com main site?

[pfefferle@mastodon.social]

@evan have you replied through the comments section or somewhere in the admin panel?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@pfefferle @julian Oh, of course! Please enjoy your time off; I'll bug you about it next week, when reality returns.

@pfefferle This is such an interesting question! I'm learning a lot just by being asked. I didn't know there was a difference and I'm not sure how I'd log into my blog separately from logging into dot-com. Here's a quick screencast of my login process. (Please don't copy my password; it's 18 asterisks in a row. I use it on a lot of web sites so it's pretty important that it stays secure.)

@pfefferle in the admin panel!
