    I found one under communities so far and if you’re curious it’s !pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com It appears to work just like any other community.

    However, when I commented, it didn’t appear on his Wordpress blog but it did appear under “community post”. He had a comment on his blog that didn’t appear in the community. It might be an issue of synchronization?

      Are comments from other platforms supposed to appear beneath blog posts like that? I suppose it depends on how WordPress has implemented their federation. If it is supposed to work, it might also depend on how often WordPress pulls in information from other sources; I wonder what their default federation settings are? Does a blog automatically federate everywhere? Or would they have a more allow-list model to prevent comment sections becoming a moderation nightmare for blog authors?

      I suppose I should look this up 😇

      EDIT: “and, in turn, receive replies from those platforms that are transformed into blog comments.”

      So it might be a matter of how often that blog’s “cron” tasks run (background processing that runs on a timer), and perhaps if the blog author allows comments (from the fediverse and otherwise) and if they have to manually approve them before they display.
