No problem.

In my head I was thinking of a Federated account like a WordPress blog that has ActivityPub installed and confirmed working. Everyone in the Fediverse can see it, but having it followed and posted in Forum puts it there in front of the Community for a more direct conversation.

I am gonna start installing and trying to figure out ActivityPub into my Drupal projects even if I am not thrilled with my previous dealings with that module.

@julian Are categories supposed to follow regular users from this screen in admin panel. Asking this because I tried putting a mastodon user profile link in the textbox but upon clicking on 'Follow' nothing happened. For threads, the request is pending(with some error, I guess) as you can see from the picture.

@bh4-tech can you supply the URLs you tried to follow please?

@julian https://www.threads.net/@khabydistas on threads and https://mastodon.social/@dansup on mastodon

@bh4-tech might be not working because I did not expect urls. Can you try a handle like dansup@mastodon.social?

@julian Yeah that worked for mastodon, but not for threads. Guess that's some problem on thread's side and not nodebb.

However, the remote media preview problem still remains https://community.nodebb.org/post/103782 . Guess you will need to cache remote media like misskey.

My first experience with Federation was with Calckey, (fork of Miskey.)
I liked some things about it, but there were forks of forks and I never knew in the end which variant of it was best to use

Hello

I am trying to follow some different ActivityPub group and users but

but I can't quite understand why some are accepted while others remain "pending."

For example, here I was able to follow the profile skariko@www.lealternative.net (who is an author of a Wordpress blog) and in fact his posts are posted in autonomous in the category correctly.

But if I try to follow another author of that blog like marcocalamari@www.lealternative.net or fediverso@www.lealternative.net it remains in “pending”.

I have also tried following two PeerTube users who both remain in “pending.”

Also after trying to unfollow one of the users it remains in “null.”

ska there is an issue with category sync with Lemmy, since they do not support categories following their communities.

I'll have to take a closer look at Peertube.

Are you able to follow those users using your local account, not via the ACP?

julian Those are not Lemmy communities but authors of a federated Wordpress blog: the author skariko is followed while the authors marcocalamari and fediverso remain in “pending”.

On the other hand as far as PeerTube is concerned I just tried it and it did not give me any errors, in the next few days I will try to see if new posts also appear to me but it seems so: https://citiverse.it/category/framablog.audio@framatube.org

Thank you
