Pre-Alpha ActivityPub-related bug reports

[julian]

I may regret creating this topic but here goes.

If you experience a bug or other unexpected behavior while using NodeBB and its related ActivityPub integration, please post it here so it can be tracked and resolved.

No formal process as of yet, and we're still at pre-alpha so expect many things to be broken or unavailable

@julian I sent a Follow activity and received this Accept activity:

{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "actor": "https://community.nodebb.org/uid/2",
  "object": {
    "actor": "https://mitra.social/users/silverpill",
    "type": "Follow"
  },
  "type": "Accept"
}

It doesn't specify what activity has been accepted (the id field is missing).

Thank you, I'll add the id to the object and hopefully that resolves.

Relatedly, I have never been able to send activities to your instance, or *key instances, so it's not related to just the Follow.

Additionally, both your profile and ones on wedistribute.org don't resolve properly here.

@julian Actually I can see this reply, the Create activity was processed without errors

My server responds to deliveries with 202 Accepted, not 200 OK, perhaps this is interpreted as error? I don't know what else could

[julian]

Might be, but iirc I only check that the response code starts with a 2.

Will have a closer look if I have time this weekend, otherwise Monday.

Fixed a minor issue involving replying to topics in /world (in that it actually works now).

[crazycells]

@julian is there any way to click our way to "https://community.nodebb.org/world" from this forum?

I am typing the full url each time, but wondering if there is any shortcut?

[julian]

@crazycells sure, you can add it to the nav bar. Haven't done that here since it still needs a bit of polish, but soon...

[the skyfoxx]

Maybe not a 'bug' but more accurately, todo
https://community.nodebb.org/user/the-skyfoxx/following only shows local (nodebb people I'm following, not fediverse)

[julian]

@The-SkyFoxx hmm, this seems to work though?

NodeBB Community

A community to talk about development and ask questions about NodeBB modern forum software

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

Seems we can mark it as a bug, then

When I follow, the browser (safari) is registering it as successful.

However when I refresh, it's showing that I haven't followed the person.

For some reason, it seems as if I am getting success follows, but they don't persist.

I haven't done anything special to get an account on mastodon or the fediverse. My account only exists on Nodebb.

[julian]

Thanks @The-SkyFoxx, I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Can you try following my other account [email protected]?

@julian said in Pre-Alpha ActivityPub-related bug reports:

Can you try following my other account [email protected]?

Same deal. I am following these steps:

1. Go to: https://community.nodebb.org/user/[email protected]
2. Click follow
3. Get the success message:
   
4. State of the follow button changes to "Unfollow"
   
5. When I refresh, the follow button changes to "Follow" again
   
   (Just like the video above)

[julian]

@The-SkyFoxx okay, thanks! I'll take a look

[crazycells]

hi @julian , although I read these two topics, they do not go away from my "unread list" and "unread count"

[julian]

@crazycells Should be resolved now.

[crazycells]

@julian yes, it is thanks...

[the skyfoxx]

Probably a todo more than a bug.

You cannot see posts of mastodon users on nodebb:
https://community.nodebb.org/user/[email protected]/posts

[julian]

@The-SkyFoxx correct, that'd be a to do

Used to have follow lists working actually, but then bots started scraping them for data, that was oddly creepy

[the skyfoxx]

Breadcrumbs for /world/all and /world are identical?

(clicking on a link in /world/all creates a breadcrumb fro /world)
