        @darkpollo I'll have a go at answering some of your questions, until something better comes along.

        1. Yes. Here's your reply on another server: link

        2. Yes. I tested out creating and then deleting stuff from a remote account, and this forum acknowledged both.

        3. Remote users don't get any privileges - their profile on this forum is just a text copy of the one they have on their own platforms. In terms of identifying local vs. remote (visually, at least), you can hover over users and see whether they have an '@' in their name. You could do the same programmatically, but I imagine that there's better ways.

        @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.

                  @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

                        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.

                          @[email protected] 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?

                                @julian I read this whole thing wondering how NodeBB posts would look from my instance and then clicked your link at the end and realized I'd been reading one the whole time lol. Super cool, hope this takes off!

                                  @[email protected] thanks for the suggestion, that's definitely something I'd want to consider.

                                  Sort of a post queue for federated content that needs automatic or manual review before it is automatically slotted in a category.

                                      @[email protected] careful with that though, not all tags are the same, some have a higher signal-to-noise ratio, but others would just be filled with garbage 😬

                                          @[email protected] careful with that though, not all tags are the same, some have a higher signal-to-noise ratio, but others would just be filled with garbage 😬

                                          I think the best way, then, would be to have rules that map various group actor URLs to categories, and possibly also tags. Nothing automatic. Only configured. Of course, once Lemmy fixes the ability of Group actors to follow other Group actors, this will be a non-issue.

                                          One other possible solution, which is employed by Misskey et al., is a proxy actor. It's a special user that follows other users, and relays info within its own instance. It's used for doing things like adding a remote user to a list without directly following them. The proxy account follows the user, and then your local instance adds the remote user to your list. But all ActivityPub interactions go through the proxy user.
