Just confirmed it does! Now does a #Mastodon reply create a new post, or is it a reply to the original? I will find out soon!
@mozilla @firefox
Answer found: it is a reply to the original post!
Further, an upvote on #lemmy is a boost on #mastodon.
What's weird is that the boost seems to come from the community it was posted to, not the Lemmy user that upvoted it.
I wonder what happens when there are multiple upvotes ... Multiple boosts by the and community (e.g. @firefox)?
Not quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a "boost" by the community when viewing from mastodon.
@JackFromWisconsin
@firefox the upvotes don't look like favorites either - they just don't register.
I'll share a mastodon screenshot, then edit my post so you can see it on Lemmy too.
Note how there are 34 upvotes on Lemmy, but no favorites on mastodon.

Edit: markdown format embedding doesn't get to Lemmy for some reason, so here are direct links to the images instead.
