It's a bit confusing but you indeed need to interact with the thread through your own instance, you can pick which instance you're using from the top menu:
Basically it's the same as if you'd go to lemmy.world on your browser and tried to do stuff there, but using an app hides this detail a bit. Hope this helps!
Much appreciated!
I suspected I'd figured it out but confirmation is always welcomed, slowly getting to grips with Lemmy and very much enjoying it.
