  • Forum specific UX for remote categories

    @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.

    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

    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.

    @eeeee Your reply (what Lemmy would term a comment) would go out to friend@nodebbinstance but it would be up to nodebbinstance to resolve what post the comment was a reply to. To illustrate what I mean about Lemmy and User Mentions in posts, see this post as an example. In the body of that post, the user Mentions 2 people - [email protected] [email protected] but neither of those people would have been notified of that post. You can see for yourself by looking at the activitypub representation of that post (by running curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39126561 | jq .) and noting that there are no Mentions in the 'tag' section. By contrast, another user Mentions [email protected] in this comment, and she would have been notified of that (you can see that this time there is a Mention in activitypub representation of that coment). @julian For the other direction - as you've found out, Lemmy will first look at 'audience' for a root post and try to resolve it and bail if that doesn't work. If there's no 'audience', it will look in 'cc' to try to find a community and stops when it finds one. It won't look further, so you can't post in more than one community at a time, and you can't use a root post to post in Lemmy community and also notify a Lemmy user of it. It distinguishes between root posts and other posts because the root post is a Note will 'null' for 'inReplyTo'.

    @rikudou maybe? Nullish coalescing sounds really cool, but I've avoided it for years because of browser compatibility. Node has had support forever (since v14, I've discovered), but I just don't know how to use it is all

    @Jakub-Urbanowicz can you please: create a test account on ActivityPub.academy Run your NodeBB in dev mode (./nodebb dev) mention your account on your forum? Have your forum account reply back. See if there are any errors logged. ActivityPub errors are only logged to console in dev mode.
