Focused discussion related to ActivityPub integration in NodeBB
founded 1 year ago
@frankm@linux-nerds.org this is now done. Turns out I wasn't actually stopping a category from following a user, so that didn't need rolling back.
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13232
@hamiller@forum.wedistribute.org using a hashtag is probably also something I should allow categories to follow, although that's local-only to the instance because of how hashtags work.
Either way I didn't want to restrict a valid use case :)
@julian Are categories supposed to follow regular users from this
screen in admin panel. Asking this because I tried putting a mastodon user profile link in the textbox but upon clicking on 'Follow' nothing happened. For threads, the request is pending(with some error, I guess) as you can see from the picture.
@bh4-tech can you supply the URLs you tried to follow please?
@julian https://www.threads.net/@khabydistas on threads and https://mastodon.social/@dansup on mastodon
@bh4-tech might be not working because I did not expect urls. Can you try a handle like
dansup@mastodon.social?@julian Yeah that worked for mastodon, but not for threads. Guess that's some problem on thread's side and not nodebb.
However, the remote media preview problem still remains https://community.nodebb.org/post/103782 . Guess you will need to cache remote media like misskey.
Hi julian , and sorry for trying to resurrect this (somewhat old) thread I happened to read. When you said to hamiller@forum.wedistribute.org
> "I should probably allow categories to track hashtag usage, even if it's local, given how hashtags work."
I thought this was now possible. In fact, I thought this was exactly what happens to your "General Discussion" category on Activitypub.space.
But then I looked in the settings of my federated NodeBB instance, and maybe it's not as I thought. So, I wonder (and ask you): how do you manage to aggregate "general discussion" threads? Is there an automatic way, or do you do it manually with "move thread"?
informapirata indeed! This is configurable under the site-wide ActivityPub settings under "auto categorization rules".
For that site I have hashtags like "ActivityPub" and "fedimod" set up to automatically categorize discussions.
It only matches for discussions that don't already have a category of their own (so, microblog stuff.)
julian great!
