@[email protected] yes, because you are using NodeBB. It will send the activity to as many people as it possibly can, who have any relation to the topic.

@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.

That sounds good

@[email protected] no worries, and thanks! Will do.

@bh4-tech My editing was correct but there was some problem with git on my server. I have fixed the things and now google registered users are having underscore in username instead of dash and can also be followed and mentioned from threads. @julian The problem is solved and thanks a lot for the support.

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

@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'.

@josef this is the part that should triggered the setup. We don't use docker on manage.nodebb.org.

@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.

That's interesting. Maybe you can debug here and see what it returns when running normally vs via pm2.

@[email protected] that was my thinking as well.

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.

I'll try to look out for a new case and see if it works on my end too. Thanks!

@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.

@julian So I'm been monitoring the log feed in dev mode, and noticed a couple of confusing federation hiccups, even following my re-enabling of all the default permissions on registered-users. I was hoping you could provide more insights or other areas to investigate. Prior to changing the permissions, I was having no issues subscribing to categories from my Lemmy account, but afterwards it broke this. Reverting permissions hasn't fixed it, either. When I monitor the log, I see no evidence that the activity is reaching nodebb at all. I'm able to follow from several other Mastodon accounts, and even from some new Lemmy accounts I created on other servers. My first thought was that Lemmy.ca has silenced me, maybe due to request rejection spam while federation was broken, but they've confirmed that I'm not on a list on their end. This has made me wonder if they might be on mine. Or if something else is still broken. Skimming the logs, I found the following: 2025-02-26T17:28:46.883Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [activitypub/verify] Starting signature verification... 2025-02-26T17:28:46.883Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [activitypub/verify] Retrieving pubkey for https://lemmy.ca/u/Kichae#main-key 2025-02-26T17:28:46.887Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [activitypub/get] https://lemmy.ca/u/Kichae#main-key 2025-02-26T17:28:47.116Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [activitypub/verify] Attempting signed string verification 2025-02-26T17:28:47.117Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [middleware/activitypub] HTTP signature verification passed. 2025-02-26T17:28:47.117Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [middleware/activitypub] Validating incoming payload... 2025-02-26T17:28:47.117Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [middleware/activitypub] Request body check passed. 2025-02-26T17:28:47.125Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [middleware/activitypub] Origin check passed. 2025-02-26T17:28:47.131Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [middleware/activitypub] Key ownership cross-check passed. 2025-02-26T17:28:47.134Z [4566/160807] - verbose: [activitypub/inbox/undo] Like https://sopuli.xyz/post/22661764 via https://lemmy.ca/u/Kichae [api] Exception caught, error with stack trace follows: Error: [[error:invalid-pid]] at inbox.undo (/var/www/html/nodebb_wap/src/activitypub/inbox.js:521:11) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) at async Controller.postInbox (/var/www/html/nodebb_wap/src/controllers/activitypub/index.js:169:3) pid I'm assuming is post ID?

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

Yes the checkmark is there. I have access to the PostgreSQL db, but the model is really twisted, I don't know where to find user data. Table list: legacy_hash legacy_list legacy_object legacy_set legacy_string legacy_zset searchchat searchpost searchtopic session

@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
