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

@[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.

Silly thing - it looks like the problem was that I changed which domain the emailer was sending from (moved to forums., but forgot to set it to that in the email settings, and didn't notice the discrepancy much after because the test email works fine. It's working great now after fixing that. Thanks for the idea to check the login domain! I did not have to switch that out for Fastmail after all.

@baris Yeah noticed it now. Actually, I also setup the nginx configuration following nodebb docs, specially the one for utilising multiple(2) cores for nodebb, but somehow missed the line related to protocol. Thanks a lot again.

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

@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.

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

@[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.

@dawei-JOBS can you give us an overview of how you're attempting to develop a theme on your dockerized deployment?

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

@julian this is the standard header: [image: 1741778382478-329b1a23-2b16-4ff1-8849-02832b830354-image.png] this is the profile: [image: 1741778352271-fd5d8ced-d978-4330-8c74-9e64ef7a8fb3-image.png] We are missing the logo, the top menu, everything from the header.

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