@julian It's great. I saw first a link to your website and I could not reply from my Mastodon account. I had to find the post through Mastodon itself.

Maybe in the future you could add the possibility to reply from mastodon account.

@fedihacker@masto.es if you copy the topic url directly, it won't show up yet.

You'll have to use the directly post link (in the timestamp), e.g. https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756

I'll look into making this a bit more seamless

@julian congratulations!

@julian Nice addition! (replying from a mastodon instance)

@julian

Welcome to Fediverse ‍️

sent from a German Mastodon instance

@julian this is fantastic. Thanks for your hard work!

Typically you copy the URL of the original post and paste that URL into your own instance's search bar

Did that not work?

this is how I did it and it worked

@julian Congratulations, this is very exciting! Your "World" feed is very close to what I had suggested back in 2023 for Calckey, and it shows how flexible the fediverse can be - it's a different way to read your fedi content, instead of the usual microblogging style! Very cool

@julian Damn. I wish BeerAdvocate wasn’t stuck with XenForo. But also congrats!

@julian Awesome, that's a nice addition to the Fediverse

@julian haha now that reposting from fedi instances is possible, maybe you need to collapse the "... shared this topic N minutes ago", by default in the UI

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

@julian

Were you aware of FIDONET before you started?

@julian Amazing stuff.
Congratulations!!
I have some questions, probably because I am still trying to understand this activitypub thing.

1- If I write this reply here, that means is now public and can be read on other mastodon/activitypub servers/locations?

2- I saw people replying to you on another mastodon servers and their comments appear on the forum as replies, which is amazing, but, can they delete their messages on their mastodon server? And if they can, will that deletion be sent across and be removed from the database of this forum?

3- I also see that the people that replied, got an user and a profile on this forum, will they know about it? can they login and do something about that user? How do you identify "created social users" from "standard registered users" on your nodebb install?

Thanks!

@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.
