Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Thanks for the in-depth info.
I'm kind of amazed they released a system that shows replies but not necessarily the OP! But presumably there's all kinds of technical reasons over my head.
I've installed Subsitoot and am browsing regular Mastodon (not phanpy) with it... and I can't tell yet if it's making a difference. I'm still thrown by the bass-ackwards layout.
OK, I think I get what I have to do now to see the OP of seemingly orphaned replies, and also to see all replies to an OP, below the OP.
That finally shows me both the OP, at top, and all replies, below.
So, a bit of a palaver but doable. Thanks! Hopefully, future versions of Mastodon will make getting posts and displaying them properly grouped in the main timeline easier.
