February Update on ActivityPub Development
-
@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
julianand 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/webfingerrequests 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... -

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-socialinstead ofJulian Lamor 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...
-
@crazycells Remote mentions are currently not supported (see original post) but will be soon.
Format would be as expected
@[email protected]or@[email protected], etc. -

For those looking for accounts to follow for testing, I created a helpful guide here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17857/list-of-popular-mastodon-accounts-to-follow-activity-pub-testing
-
Congrats! Looking forward to playing more with this!
-
@julian are you the only user who can create a topic here and post on mastodon at the same time? or will there be any way for other mastodon users to create a topic here on the forum without creating a local user profile? Or can other mastodon users only post replies?
-
Also, what's the best way to provide feedback as I run into quirky behavior ... on here, via the fediverse, filing a bug, or ... ?
