    @[email protected] 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. @freamon

    @julian Hi, yes for sure. "Source" or "Location" are pretty common data points that add more granularity in organization/sorting/searching. An example of a non text field would be something like "beginning date" and "end date" that would need to be date or number. I'm admittedly new to nodebb, but I it would seem copy/pasting whatever was done to the users codebase and replacing the variables names would be perfect for both categories and topics.

    That's good. Hubzilla already has server-side and client-side OAuth2 support, so maybe this may come in handy.

    We did this as well, but some of our moderators don't want to upvote posts that are not worth upvoting. They want to keep the value of their upvote

    @julian Iceshrimp classic shows the link as https://community.nodebb.org//community.nodebb.org (and links to that) and assigns it "nofollow noopener". I think the page doesn't render unless you use JavaScript anyway so it shouldn't affect search rankings?

    I'll admit the email verification flow is janky, but it's the best we've got if you want to support some form of out-of-band password reset. Ok, Ive given this password reset a lot of thought. I didn't know the term 'out-of-band' but this is an idea along lines of alternative method which doesnt rely on email So background, lets say my forum Contains no sensitive information, so not a terrible issue if a password recovery was hacked. So an easy reset password reset method wouldnt be a risk it has infrequent posters. The amount of password reset requests was huge. People were re-registering So solution could be Admins could allow users to opt into an easy click on picture reset (if they wanted the option) Method, you can try this a maximum of say, once per month Click your favourite: Film: Comedy, Horror, Drama, Historical, Nature, Crime Fruit: Apple, Banana, Pear, Orange, Coconut, Grape, Pineapple Color: Red, Blue, Green, yellow, brown, Black, White If the correct choices are clicked then you can reset password there and then Probability of random hack 1/7 ^ 3 so less than 0.3% Im sure there must be a name for this type of reset method, its a kind of variant of answering 3 memorable questions, but less to recall. if the words are accompanied by pictures most people remember the 3 items they chose

    @julian @Totally with Ю :questified: Also because there's the difference between conversation-oriented projects (Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), the Threadiverse, nodeBB) and Twitter-like micro-blogging projects that don't have a concept of conversations.The former are built around being able to follow conversations, the latter lack that feature completely.#FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta

    @The-SkyFoxx said in January Update on ActivityPub Development: I guess a plugin with the filter hook would allow admins to filter /world by hashtags, if they feel the need to. Practically it may be a little more involved, but I think we'd end up with something along those lines. There aren't any plugin hooks exposed in the AP logic at present but they can always be added as needed.

    Will downgrade sharp to 0.32.6 and release a new patch version since we received other reports of the sharp error.
