eeeee:The only thing Delete then Purge does is add extra step to removing something!Discourse also uses a "soft delete" (we call it "Trash(ed)"). The main point of it is that it allows restoration if the delete was in error. julian:my gut feeling is no, because post visibility (which at present, NodeBB doesn't even support at all) and deletion are two separate properties in ActivityPub.I agree.

In principle that sounds like a problem with NodeBB or other platforms you are using. Lemmy doesnt do anything special to fetch remote communities. But if you notice any error responses served by Lemmy you can open an issue.

@thisismissem damn @Sarahp killing it with the fediverse coverage lately!

@AltCode all three flipboard remote categories seem to be working now

Hi from Lemmy

@[email protected] how does Hubzilla communicate this to other 'za instances? Something like a boolean for whether the public can post would take you part of the way there.

@[email protected] great!

@julian Thanks, tells me what I needed to know. Even on Mastodon I only really use Hashtags on posts and not on replies so that tracks for personal usage.

Thanks for the confirmation @[email protected], any chance we could have the post list the magazine as a recipient, so that a backreference is established? See: https://community.nodebb.org/post/104013 @[email protected] mentioned you, but a typo got in the way

@AltCode ackchyually... it opens in the same tab for me. ... because there's a user setting for it I'll update it to respect that user setting.

@KirillEvo the translations are pulled in daily ️ Thanks for offering to help!

@AltCode One significant potential issues with listing all followed categories in the same kind of layout as /categories is the below-the-fold effect, or the page-2 effect as one might have called it in earlier times. Whatever categories end up falling below a certain scroll distance will just never been seen by most users. If you follow a lot of categories, the ones that end up closer to the bottom of the list than the top will just end up ignored. It doesn't encourage participation, and it also doesn't discourage following a lot of categories that you don't actually care about. And follow relationships are very important under ActivityPub, since they dictate content flow. Bringing in a lot of remote content that no one on the local forum is actually reading or engaging with is very wasteful. An easily accessible compact list might be better, with different sorting options so that users can choose to have categories with new content float to the top. Usually with forum categories, you want the ordering to be static, but that expectation won't necessarily be there for just a list.

My first experience with Federation was with Calckey, (fork of Miskey.) I liked some things about it, but there were forks of forks and I never knew in the end which variant of it was best to use

I asked in that issue whether Lemmy finds community via to/cc (it does). Does PieFed do the same? Yes - PieFed does the same. It looks in 'audience', then 'cc', then 'to'. It has to, to support all the platforms that haven't adopted 'audience. It's a convenient field, but PieFed won't be affected if Lemmy goes through with removing it. Would this also open up the possibility of a topic/context being part of multiple audiences/communities? Not at present. If you do something like cc: [community1, community2] it will only go to community1 (on both Lemmy and PieFed). There's so many activities that are effectively duplicates, both in normal operation and when platforms are bugged (both Lemmy and Mastodon have gone through phases of sending the same activity multiple times), that you need a way to make sure you're only processing one. On PieFed, this is done by having a UNIQUE constraint of the 'ap_id' column of the Post table (the ap_id of your post is https://community.nodebb.org/post/103806), so it means you can't have the same post in more than one community.

gkrnours:it's the first time I heard of venta blackNot surprising … Vanta and her contributions are consistently erased, just as contributions of trans and non-binary people to Mastodon’s 2017 innovation. https://wedistribute.org/2023/06/a-partial-queer-trans-and-non-binary-history-of-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/ has a

Yea, odd, I made a second account on mysite and that follows and unfollows normally. So its a mystery why my first Admin account is doing it differently. Maybe one day we will figure out whats altering the behaviour

That sounds good

Hi @[email protected]! Sorry to revive such an old thread. Is this still the case with nodebb 4 with ActivityPub? I vaguely remember that in other ActivityPub software it's somewhat problematic to change hostname.

@Kichae said in Organizing the many worlds you're part of through NodeBB: > But man, do I ever desperately want the bulletin board experience in /world. It really feels like what the fediverse was always meant to be, to me. I've been inspired by some teaser images from @[email protected]'s Ghost blog, which physically segregates microblogging content apart from long-form content (e.g. blogs). Forum topics fit somewhere in the middle, although since title and body are present we tend to align more with long-form content. It's a really neat idea I'd like to play around with more.
