You can read FEP-1b12 to understand how Lemmy federation works. To make it short, these Announces are to let community followers know about all the posts, edits, votes etc which are happening in the community. You can check the audience field to distinguish from Mastodon-style boosts.
just a guess, but looks like it's listing every upvote as a reblog by the community?
the list could combine all the reblogs by the same user into a single line, no need to show multiple I think
You mean 'thorn in my side'
Or "a bug on my side", depending on what they mean. Prepositions are hard.
I've never heard of that form of the expression.
It's not the same expression. I mean "a bug" as in a software error and "on my side" as in it's not Lemmy's fault.
Now I see that OP is the creator of the tumblr clone Wafrn I'm sure it's just a typo and that this is the intended meaning.
Oh, so like 'I'm experiencing a bug on my side of things' or something like that. I get what you are saying now, I think.
I was pretty confused. Lol
how many times did you edit that post per chance? Lemmy seems to boost edited posts for some odd reason
see https://brain.d.on-t.work/notes/9md8phwlkzlj0xe9 and https://brain.d.on-t.work/notes/9m1y542jlg8002bj for it happening on my misskey instance hacked together to support Lemmy federation
@ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone zero lol. wafrn does not supports edition. its more a "every upvote is a retoot because lemmy fucks standars"
tbf Lemmy's behavior is documented and standardized (https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md) it's just that their fallback code for instances that don't federate the Lemmy way also boosts the target posts for each update as opposed to just once on creation like you'd expect
