    @[email protected] I'm trying to move a post from one topic to another. I haven't had problems with this and it works really well. There's one post I can't move and I wonder if it is because it is a federated post. The post is one out of several that are off-topic, so I want to move that whole side-discussion into its own topic. The only post I can't move is the federated post. What could be the reason?

      Does it just disallow the post move? Or does it do something wacky?

      I ran into an interesting hiccup just now while experimenting with merging remote topics, where it allowed the merge, but the new merged post was totally broken (triggered a TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')).

        @[email protected] I can click Move post and also select the post. I can navigate to the right topic and also type in the topic number. Bit then the Move button turns flat. Like I can't even click it or nothing happens when I click it.

          @[email protected] Confirmed that the same thing's happening for me. Interestingly, forking remote topics works fine. So, moving posts from a remote topic into another topic isn't available, but moving them into a brand new topic is seemingly well supported.

            @Kichae @[email protected] as you two have discovered, topic management tooling for remote topics is far less exhaustively tested 😅

            The move post functionality specifically I don't think has been tested at all, so:

            Merging two remote topics together? Or one remote and one local?

              IIRC, it was two remote topics, neither with replies. I was surprised that it let me to it, until it produced the error on viewing.

                I'm happy to test things out and can see there's still a lot of bugs here and there. It's encouraging to see it getting worked on. That makes me want to continue exploring!

                  @[email protected] @Kichae I tested the following use cases:

                  1. Moving a remote post to another topic (a local topic)
                  2. Merging a remote topic with a local topic
                  3. Merging a remote topic into a remote topic

                  All cases worked okay. Potentially this was fixed already with some other unrelated fixes?

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