@julian @[email protected] yeap My apologies for any confusion or inconvenience caused. I was just testing tagging in the @nodebb forum, and I made a mistake. Thank you for your understanding! But I'm glad you found it cool!

@julian said in February Update on ActivityPub Development:
Your "handle" is your username followed by @community.nodebb.org.
how will it work for nodebb forums that are subfolder installation?
-
@crazycells all very important questions that I do not have the answers to
-
@julian if it is customizable, [email protected] would be simpler and cooler
-
@crazycells I am not actually certain how it would work with a subfolder install. The way it currently works, a profile is found by querying the "webfinger" URL for that user. For example, for my account here, my user slug is
julian
and the domain portion iscommunity.nodebb.org
, and so when query that domain's webfinger endpoint it will show a link to my user profile.That's how the handle is "proven" to exist. So if you wanted to support your site (which is on a subfolder), you'd have to add an nginx or apache rule to route the
.well-known/webfinger
requests to NodeBB.I'm sure it's been done too actually, I am not sure if the Vivaldi or Opera guys were the ones.
-
@julian If you need ideas, you can look at what Mastodon, Pleroma, and GoToSocial do:
https://docs-p.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#federation
https://docs.pleroma.social/backend/configuration/how_to_serve_another_domain_for_webfinger/
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/getting_started/#domain-nameMy Mastodon instance, for example, has the local domain set to vivaldi.net, but the web domain is set to social.vivaldi.net, so my handle looks like @\[email protected] (or at least it does when viewed from remote servers that respect this configuration).

hi @julian , I think the first post is broken... I see the last and first post being the same... and I cannot see vivaldi_blue's response on the forum...
-
@crazycells yes, I noticed that this morning too, but can't take a look at it until later today
I think it's an easy fix.

@julian no problem , I just wanted to bring it to your attention...
Okay, I think it is resolved now.
I wonder how quoted posts in NodeBB look in Mastodon

@AltCode my main concern would be people potentially thinking users on that domain represent the brand. Suppose it depends on a case by case basis!
-
@devnull testing image upload...
-
@julian testing for image upload...
-
@alicihan one problem at a time, ok?
-
@devnull-crag-social lol sorry, no problem...
-
@devnull-crag-social maybe this can be solved by using full username for external users? such as
@devnull@crag-social
instead ofJulian Lam
or using bothJulian Lam <@devnull@crag-social>
?By the way, to reply, I can "quote" some of the replies, but cannot use "quote" button for others... clicking does not do anything... fyi...
