or I don't understand something

There is a video https://peertube.wtf/w/eSYuduJSbZ9s7K4pFT3Ncd
To which I added a comment to another comment https://piefed.zip/post/457008#comment_1379964
17 hours later it still did not federate to peertube.wtf

What am I missing here? Is there some disconnect between PieFed.zip and tube.tchncs.de for example?

I can see your comment "0_0 damn, I would have never thought about such eye-candy" on peertube, screenshot below.

It was a little bit hidden, it was necessary to tap "View 2 replies" to make the sub-replies appear.

Ah. I did not think about checking the originating instance. Thank you

So now my problem is that it did not appear on PeerTube.wtf. That is a problem with peertube.wtf<->tilvids.com or peertube.wtf<->tube.tchncs.de ?

No, my screenshot is peertube.wtf. I don't know why you can't see it there but it is :)

Judging by the blue icon, you are looking at tilvids.com, where it is in fact present. But on peertube.wtf it's not

I realize that at this point this has nothing to do with PieFed, but also at this level I'm a little bit lost where the federation failed. Do you think I should ping someone from peertube.wtf, technics.de or tilvids? Thank you for taking your time for this

Omg you're right, sorry.

Worth pointing out that tilvids (annoyingly) rejects any federation requests. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

It appears to be specific to replies to replies - this video on peertube.wtf has a top-level comment from PieFed.

PeerTube's federation model is different from Lemmy's - they don't sign remote comments when they federate them out again, so it's often up to other instances to fetch them from the source. It might be that PieFed has to do something to help the likes of peertube.wtf successfully retrieve a comment when it's a reply to another reply.

@framasoft@lemmy.world any chance to have you take a look? Is that how comments on comments on Peertube work or this is a problem between instances?

[–] wakest@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

@julian@activitypub.space this is an interesting case you could show off to point out why peertube should support your Context FEP

[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean that the problem might be that peertube.wtf should have asked tilvids.com about all comments of comments?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 2 points 18 hours ago

Most likely.

Without digging through the Peertube source, a codebase I have never looked at before, it's hard to say.
