Hey @[email protected] I'm currently experimenting with a NodeBB setup that has ActivityPub enabled.

Hi there! I'm sure this will be a very stupid question, but...

I recently got to federate my #NodeBB forum, and I can see and follow my user there @[email protected] , send messages and so on, so far so great.

I'd like to follow categories from the forum, but even when there is a handle for it ("proves" in the screenshot) I can't get to find not follow @[email protected]

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @[email protected], can you check the category privileges and ensure that the fediverse pseudo-user has all of the privileges available to it, specifically "Find Category" and "Access Category"?

@julian hi! Yes, permissions seem to be ok.

I had some issues because the domain pointed to the correct IP, but it didn't point back to the domain, but now that seems to be solved.

Should I delete and create again the categories or maybe turn off federation and turn it on again on them?

Thanks!

@[email protected] are you still unable to find categories?

[xbermusic@mastodont.cat]

@julian hi! Unfortunately not.

I made a post making the categories expecting that somehow I could follow them from Mastodon.

I used the handle @anuncis and that created a link with this: https://piano.cat/category/1/anuncis, but opening it from Mastodon doesn't lead to a pseudo-user but the category in my forum.

@[email protected] can you try renaming the handle to something else and back again?
