Hey @julian@community.nodebb.org I'm currently experimenting with a NodeBB setup that has ActivityPub enabled.

@julian I like how PeerTube does it. Looking at https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel/videos, for example, there's 2 intersecting squares next to the channel name, and clicking that puts the handle into my clipboard, for pasting into the box that I can then use on my instance to fetch it.

@freamon You also have the Hubzilla example, which shows the entire handle below the user's display name.
For example, mine shows up as:
Scott M. Stolz
scott@loves.tech
On NodeBB, the name could be made clickable and go to the person's profile. -
@julian Another thing to consider is that showing handles is a good way to prevent spoofing or identity confusion. That way you can tell the difference between julian@community,nodebb.org and julian@example.com. The fact that the domain is different alerts the user that this is not the same Julian.

@freamon ah, I see. Yes we could experiment with putting the handle underneath the category name.
@scott@loves.tech, we're talking about categories here, not users.

@julian I know, but I was too lazy to start a new topic. :winking_face_with_tongue: -
@julian I know, but I was too lazy to start a new topic. :winking_face_with_tongue:Speaking of which, I keep forgetting how to create a new topic. Are the handles for that exposed anywhere on NodeBB?

@scott@loves.tech same shortcoming as finding the category for following, the handle isn't exposed.
Also not all categories federate so whatever solution we adopt has to also communicate if a category is local only to the instance.

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 @xbermusic@piano.cat , 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 @proves@piano.cat
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!

Hi @xbermusic@mastodont.cat, can you check the category privileges and ensure that the
fediversepseudo-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!

@xbermusic@mastodont.cat are you still unable to find categories?
-
@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.

@xbermusic@mastodont.cat can you try renaming the handle to something else and back again?
