@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is @arachnibot I love how I want to add this to the core logic and someone beats me to it with a third party plugin.

It's absolutely fantastic, and exactly how our plugin system should work!

Was a link posted to it? Also I'm noticing that edits don't seem to fully federate. 🤨

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is no link yet, was just speaking hypothetically

Report that NodeBB-NodeBB edits don't federate · Issue #13085 · NodeBB/NodeBB

Likely a regression if reproducible https://community.nodebb.org/post/https%3A%2F%2Fforum.agnos.is%2Fpost%2F16

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is Adding UI for settings today. Will put on github once that's done (though I can share the core snippet in a bit). It can also work for auto-moving local tagged posts as well.

Should also mention that not every post from remote actors is tagged, so it might not catch everything. Could possibly have it just read any uncategorized posts and move based on users instead? Might be a better workaround for core, but if you have any thoughts let me know @julian@community.nodebb.org

Sounds good. Looking forward to trying it out. If there's a way to tie the post back to a Group Actor "user" (which are the local NodeBB users that share/boost the content within NodeBB), then you could probably make the algorithm more reliable. I don't know anything about the internals of NodeBB, though. Just spitballing ideas.

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is actually once you mentioned that I got a rough version of that working. I'm not sure if reading the audience property is the right move, but we'll see if it works on my end I guess?

@arachnibot@nodebb.arachnibot.com Only one way to find out!

@arachnibot@nodebb.arachnibot.com for Lemmy? No, not anymore.

A future version of Lemmy will remove audience. You'll have to dereference the addressing fields (to, cc).

Got it! I just noticed something similar, so thanks for the confirmation!

@arachnibot@nodebb.arachnibot.com mm actually this also doesn't happen currently when you manually move a topic to a category.

Your local account boosts it but not the category. That's a feature I'd like to add to core, please open an issue.

@julian@community.nodebb.org sounds good! I'm actually re-assigning the category before creation, rather than using the helpers in TopicTools, but I'll make the issue in case that should result in the same behavior

I'm very eager to try this plugin lol. Have you put it up on GitHub somewhere yet?

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is

Yep! Still this link. Just note there's no settings panel (all just in the plug-in init function), and you'll have to git clone and npm link it to test, since its not ready for the usual method yet

Yep! As above! You

@Arachnibot should note you need to manually install with npm link, and configure via editing the plugin initialization right now, but its technically functional.
