Not sure how long it was going before the fire department arrived, but it was maybe ten minutes between when I heard the sirens and the fire was under control.
For some reason this breaks the way my app (Voyager) identifies OP. It usually gives them a blue color to make it easier to spot OP in the comments, but here OP is not marked. Interesting.
OP is responding to comments on their Lemmy account (via lemmy.crimedad.work) so the system acknowledges them as two separate accounts. The post was opened by the Pixelfed account and they are commenting through the Lemmy account.
For now at least there is no way to link accounts in the system and flag them as the same person so that's why that's happening.
@vamp@lemmy.world Yes, the OP is actually from Pixelfed, where hashtags work and are encouraged. I wish Lemmy had hashtag functionality. It could work like flair potentially.
