It also doesn't post back to Microsoft's dev blogs. As an example, the Mastodon blog post doesn't contain the comments from Microsoft's post. I wouldn't consider it federation until this is true.
...because Microsoft has public commenting switched off in the first place anyway. Some blogs are read-only and that's fine - I can still get them in my Fediverse feed anyway. One less separate site I have to visit to get my tech news - that's the power of ActivityPub. 😁
The example linked has comments.
It also just seems very spam-like to me. Like 6 months ago, there were communities with lots of bot posts doing really low quality post mirroring for hacker news, some subs, etc. For some types of content, it does not work, as the content is a discussion. It's just not very productive to see a link post to a question and then have seperation in answers because something isn't properly federated.
Oh yes! You're right. I didn't see them before - needed to scroll further (was expecting to see them higher up). I was wondering why people were complaining that you couldn't comment when you couldn't comment anyway. 😂
Yeah, Microsoft requires you to login to comment - with MS account I guess? There's one reason to give feedback to MS to join officially. :-)
