This is a game changer - really looking forward to further interactions.

@phenomlab@sudonix.org are you going to just reply remotely from your forum from now on

They appear on mine @cagatay but not on yours. Not sure why.

@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.

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

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is

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.

@julian@community.nodebb.org 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?

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is 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.

@julian@community.nodebb.org Thanks. Even something as simple as mappin topic tags to categories automatically would work I think.

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is 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
