NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!

@freamon you got it all!

In addition, at least on NodeBB, when you tag someone remotely, the full handle appears (e.g. @nodebb@fosstodon.org)

You can tell local users from remote users in topics because they don’t have a status (online, away, dnd, etc.)… They just have a little icon next to their avatar.

@phenomlab@sudonix.org are you going to just reply remotely from your forum from now on

@julian@community.nodebb.org yeah, no need to visit nodebb anymore!

The comments are not visible on my web site.

Check and control.

They appear on mine @cagatay but not on yours. Not sure why.

@julian just a comment from Mastodon, to try

so i can not see @morloi s comment on my own web site:

@freamon
Thank you!

That link with my reply redirects me here. Is there a way to read it somewhere else?
Maybe I need to connect with another activitypub account to read it there?

@julian
It could make sense to change a little bit the design of the remote users vs the local users, so it is easier to identify. Now that I know that I need to look for the @ and is easier but most people won´t know that.

I really love this new functionality. Thanks again!

@darkpollo Oh, sorry. It turns out that that link worked because I’m logged in to defcon.social.

I’ve crowbarred your comment into my dev instance for PieFed instead: https://pythag.net/post/4695#comment_27962

@phenomlab @cagatay long story short, it works, but this community is running NodeBB v4.1, which is slightly different. Should all work fine once v4.1 is released and everybody updates.

@julian This is really awesome! Forum software federated with Fedi-Power! Cool stuff. I love it

@julian@community.nodebb.org great. Thanks

@freamon Thank you for the additional proof.

This is great!

Trying to mentally organise how to use it and sync with a mastodon account so everything is “connected and synced”.

another thing: that image doesn’t federate properly (seems like it’s because it’s a relative link)

I’ve just installed a new instance of NodeBB and it works beautifully. Some questions:

1. Is it possible for categories to follow Lemmy communities in their sync settings? I seem to be able to follow Lemmy communities, but the categories are stuck on pending.
2. Same for NodeBB categories. Can I sync my own category with remote NodeBB categories?

Edit: the URLs stuck on pending are giving “invalid-id” errors in the log. As in invalid activitypub ids. I pasted the URLs of some Lemmy communities and NodeBB categories.

Edit 2: Found the topic about this. https://community.nodebb.org/post/102818

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is

1. Is currently outstanding: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5354

2. You should be able to do this, although I may have to double check the logic. There have been reports that it is not working as expected.

@julian@community.nodebb.org said in NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!:

I’m wondering, as a stopgap solution, would it make sense to have some kind of rules engine that allows topics coming in from the fediverse to automatically be moved to NodeBB categories? Kind of like a somewhat less elegant sync.

Edit: like automatically assigning incoming topics based on tags seems like a particularly easy solution?
