Can I bridge from NodeBB to Bluesky?

The Nexus of Privacy

@jon Hmm, I didn't get the notification. ANd when I look at the message, @bsky.brid.gy isn't a link to the account which is kind of weird. What happens if I reply?

I'll tag @jdp23 as well just for luck.

Jon

Oh dear,the original post from @jon didn't federate -- even though I was following the account.

@[email protected] Your message federated here (although didn't get a notification) and @[email protected] was tagged correctly but when I click on it, instead of bringing up the profile page, it brings up the JSON document at https://bsky.brid.gy/bsky.brid.gy

@[email protected] @snarfed.org @[email protected] any idea what's going on here? The thread as a whole is at https://discussions.thenexus.today/post/48

EDIT: there are a couple of different issues here:

weirdness with @[email protected] UPDATE: Julian's looking at this
missing notifications in both directions with @[email protected] and @[email protected] (UPDATE: this was a nodebb bug that's been fixed)
the original post unexpectedly not federating to indieweb.social (maybe a separate problem?)

Jon

@jon Your reply to the post from @thenexusofprivacy that I was tagged in *did* federate here. But, I didn't get a notiffication.

@[email protected] the notification thing was a bug we fixed this week. Turns out it was a bug in NodeBB causing Mastodon to crash. Fun!

I'll look into why the bridgyfed actor doesn't assert properly.

Jon

@julian thanks!

But with, why didn't your reply to me federate over into the thread on discussions.thenexus.social?

julian

@[email protected] doesn't look like @[email protected] follows me

But my mentioning that account should work now.

julian

@[email protected] just updated you to the latest, can you try the bridgy tests again?

jon

@[email protected] yep. I'm not sure how to get to @[email protected]'s profile by searching, but I'll try tagging it here and see how it loops.

(Also apologies for not following you, fixed now!)

jon

@[email protected] no, I still get the same behavior -- it's not highlighted as an acount when it renders, so no link to click on.

jon

All right, let's try this again ... and see if it works better. Can I tag @[email protected]

CC @[email protected] , an account I know is bridging, and @[email protected]

EDIT: nope, still can't tag @[email protected]

The Nexus of Privacy

Replying from a GoToSocial instance ...

I was able to find the parent NodeBB post by searching for https://discussions.thenexus.today/post/52 (the "Copy Permalink" in the NodeBB three-dot menu for it).

However, I *couldn't * find the parent page by searching for https://discussions.thenexus.today/topic/16/can-i-bridge-from-nodebb-to-bluesky/12 - which does work in Mastodon. And that's actually what I looked for first, because that's what comes up from the "Open original page" link when viewing it in the Mastodon web UI. Although Mastodon's "Copy link to post" is .../post/52 , so if I had done that it would have worked, but.

So it looks like at least couple of things going on:

- GtS and Mastodon are sending the search for https://discussions.thenexus.today/topic/16/can-i-bridge-from-nodebb-to-bluesky/12 differently, and NodeBB only handles the Mastodon-style search. This is the kind of situation where your ActivityPub observer could be very useful.

- Mastodon somehow has two different links for the parent post, from the NodeBB side. Maybe this is intentional because they're two different AS fields with two subtly different meanings, maybe it's a bug.

Similar search results on blahaj.zone (which is on Sharkey)

searching for https://discussions.thenexus.today/post/52 works

searching for https://discussions.thenexus.today/topic/16/can-i-bridge-from-nodebb-to-bluesky/12 gives an internal error in Sharkey, oh dear.

Also GoToSocial strips the subject header out in replies, as does Mastodon.

Hi @[email protected], can you try again here on the NodeBB community? I made a small change that should allow you to properly find the bridgefed user to start the bridge.

I don't know any bridges bsky accounts to test, could you let me know one?

wakest ⁂

@julian @jdp23 you can test with any of my bridged accounts if you'd like:

@wake.st is my bluesky account thats bridged to fedi

@wakest is my #wafrn account thats now both a bluesky and ap account simultaneously

julian

@[email protected] thanks! Seems like I'm already able to see those accounts and they already have posts. Good sign.

@[email protected] did you get this message from bsky?

wakest ⁂

@julian @wake.st hmm no I didn't get that message but I also didn't get my own mention so maybe the bridge is down or lagging atm

julian

@[email protected] did that message ever show up?

jon

OK, let's start by seeing if I can tag @[email protected] ...

jon

@[email protected] seems like I still can't search for or tag @[email protected] or @[email protected] to be able to follow them
