Have successfully completed my setup. Thanks!

There have been some scattered discussions I've seen over the past year that mention that @[email protected]'s WordPress ActivityPub plugin federates their blog posts out as an as:Note, and that the only reason this is done is because Mastodon only treats as:Note (and as:Question) as a first-class object and relegates anything else to a fallback handler that takes a short snippet of the content, and shows a link back to the original source, thus losing any in-app benefits (boosts, replies, etc.)

Whether this is actually true or not, I do not know. So that's why I'd like to ask Mattias — or anybody else with some context — here.

For reference:

as:Article: Represents any kind of multi-paragraph written work. as:Note: Represents a short written work typically less than a single paragraph in length. as:Page: Represents a Web Page.

I have also noticed that Lemmy, perhaps out of principle, sends out an as:Page for new generated content, and only the replies federate out as as:Note. It has unfortunately led to some assertions that Lemmy's federation is "broken", even though it is arguably not the case.

@[email protected], care to weigh in?

I don't even blame Mattias for opting to send everything out as as:Note.

End of the day right now it doesn't matter how Mattias or Nutomic represent their higher-level collection of data, because Mastodon is the largest implementor and neither they — nor anyone else I know of, for that matter — treat anything that's not as:Note or as:Question specially.

But that ought to change. The question is how, but this WG is not at the point where we start throwing around decrees and making up standards.

What's important to me right now is what the landscape looks like right now, and why that is the case.

N.B. The discussion here will eventually make its way to online real-time discussion at one of the future WG meetings.

When using nodebb installation, do you recommend using postgres? Or do you recommend using mongodb? Which DB is better to use among the two?

This no more works on latest nodebb forums. any alternates for it?

node app.js continues try to start app. look at this log:

No in this feature we wish to post comments / message to user profiles. everyone can do that. for example wishing a user happy birthday on there profile.

@[email protected] it was actually because of @ in actor IDs - the codepath for choosing a webfinger lookup over just accepting the URL as the ID only checked for its presence, and the code for webfinger lookups was only meant to run for the acct: protocol.

So yeah, not WP fault at all, just a combination of a bug and missing feature 🙂 Now both should be fixed.

@[email protected] Thanks for changing the time, as it turns out I assumed the times were in EDT when they were actually in UTC, d'oh! Time zones strike again.

On the bright side it does mean now that everybody who answered can make it!

I successfully installed NodeBB using docker-compose.

Everything seems to be working as expected, but when the nodebb container starts up, NodeBB starts running. However, when I connect to bash and check its status using the CLI, it shows that NodeBB is not running, even though it actually is.

When I try to stop it, I can't. And when I try to start it using the CLI, even though I initially installed it with MongoDB, it gives an error related to postgres.

Note:
Initially I've installed NodeBB with Postgres, then I removed the container and installed with Mongo.

@baris thanks 👍

we have emoji plugin 5.1.13 , but it looks like this version has the commit... hmm... interesting...

FreeBSD your solution!

@julian

For example, let's say I link out to Evan's profile here. If NodeBB knew that this link had an alternative AP endpoint, then we could redirect the user instead to the local representation of his profile

Wouldn't Evan's AP endpoint be the same as his HTML endpoint?

Most platforms are going to send you to the authoritative profile, which is the one at the user's server.

And if you wanted to redirect a link to a local profile instead of his official profile, you don't need an endpoint to do that. You could simply parse the post and swap out the URL, since you should have data about the user in your database anyway from when you first detected the user.

Maybe I am misunderstanding the use case here, but I am not sure why a platform would send you to a different platform to view the profile or channel.

The plugin work for you @baris @crazycells @Kirwan ?

With the current codebase, making a group hidden also removes it from the badge selection.

Yes, it's working now, not sure why it wasn't earlier but thanks everyone!

@omega Right now in pages where there is a list of topics (e.g. /recent, /popular, etc.) there's a filter for "Uncategorized", which would essentially exclude everything else.

It's not as clear cut as excluding or only showing local topics, but that sort of achieves what you want. If you only want to see categorized topics, then you needn't select anything at all. By default, uncategorized topics are not shown.

What I think you're advocating for is a button to filter out ActivityPub topics even if they're categorized. That's where I think I might draw the line, because if a topic is categorized, then it is by that action it is considered (at least by the topic mover) to be related to the overall forum topic.

Is anyone using WeChat to scan and log in? The plugin seems to be malfunctioning. Does anyone have a solution? Thx.

My scene description:
If I copy content from other web pages into the editor, it is usually a mixture of text and images on the web page, and I find that images cannot be uploaded, only text can be pasted. I need to upload pictures one by one, which is very troublesome.

The help I need:
How to automatically upload pasted images after pasting content into the editor? Thx.
