Moving a federated post into another topic
-
@support@community.nodebb.org 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')). -
@kichae@community.nodebb.org 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.

@malte@forum.fedi.dk 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 @malte@forum.fedi.dk 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:

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!
