     I believe, if replies are unlisted, they won't go into anyone's timeline except the user the reply is for.

     You'll want the reply to have the same privacy level as the original post.

     @popey @UncleClive I can only see two replies from this bot, one from February last year, and one from 22h ago which is just a loading screen. I've seen one other video in reply to one of your recent posts, but it's not in the bot's posts-and-replies. What's going on here?

     @thelovebug @darkling @UncleClive By "unlisted" do you mean "Don't mention the person?" Because I think that's the issue.

     It's a privacy setting that accompanies a post/notice/toot. In Pachli it manifests itself as per the attached image. Unlisted essentially means, only appear to the original poster, and anyone who specifically goes looking for it. I don't know if the person needs to be mentioned for a reply to work, but the Privacy option should probably be Public if the original post was.

     @thelovebug

     I am setting visibility='public' in the API. I don't quite understand why it's still now showing up as a reply.

     @thelovebug Thank you so much. I was really grappling with the API, and your posts have helped me understand why. Thanks man.

     Also, I found an option in Fuse (the Spectrum emulator) to emulate a ZX printer, which made me think of you. :)

     Also, I need to realign my feelings on all things Spectrum. The last dabble I had with it cost me £105. I need to push beyond that! 🤭

     I did experiment with FUSE at some point in the past, but I found that the control lag made most games - even low-performance 16K games like Transversion (the first game I ever had on the Speccy) - simply unplayable. RetroPie was the same. Perhaps I was doing it wrong.

     Spamming random code is some people's day job! 😁

     @thelovebug @popey @UncleClive @darkling so... That's what all that BASIC code was for ? I never saw any response to it, I thought you were just spamming random code !
