@julian Amazing stuff.
Congratulations!!
I have some questions, probably because I am still trying to understand this activitypub thing.1- If I write this reply here, that means is now public and can be read on other mastodon/activitypub servers/locations?
2- I saw people replying to you on another mastodon servers and their comments appear on the forum as replies, which is amazing, but, can they delete their messages on their mastodon server? And if they can, will that deletion be sent across and be removed from the database of this forum?
3- I also see that the people that replied, got an user and a profile on this forum, will they know about it? can they login and do something about that user? How do you identify "created social users" from "standard registered users" on your nodebb install?
Thanks!

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

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

In addition, at least on NodeBB, when you tag someone remotely, the full handle appears (e.g. @nodebb@fosstodon.org)
You can tell local users from remote users in topics because they don't have a status (online, away, dnd, etc.)... They just have a little
icon next to their avatar. -

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!

I've crowbarred your comment into my dev instance for PieFed instead: https://pythag.net/post/4695#comment_27962

This is great!
Trying to mentally organise how to use it and sync with a mastodon account so everything is "connected and synced".
