NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!

[freamon]

@darkpollo I'll have a go at answering some of your questions, until something better comes along.

1. Yes. Here's your reply on another server: link

2. Yes. I tested out creating and then deleting stuff from a remote account, and this forum acknowledged both.

3. Remote users don't get any privileges - their profile on this forum is just a text copy of the one they have on their own platforms. In terms of identifying local vs. remote (visually, at least), you can hover over users and see whether they have an '@' in their name. You could do the same programmatically, but I imagine that there's better ways.

@freamon you got it all!

In addition, at least on NodeBB, when you tag someone remotely, the full handle appears (e.g. @[email protected])

You can tell local users from remote users in topics because they don't have a status (online, away, dnd, etc.)... They just have a little icon next to their avatar.

@[email protected] are you going to just reply remotely from your forum from now on

[phenomlab@sudonix.org]

@[email protected] yeah, no need to visit nodebb anymore!

Amazing work. Congratulations on this milestone!

@freamon
Thank you!

That link with my reply redirects me here. Is there a way to read it somewhere else?
Maybe I need to connect with another activitypub account to read it there?

@julian
It could make sense to change a little bit the design of the remote users vs the local users, so it is easier to identify. Now that I know that I need to look for the @ and is easier but most people won´t know that.

I really love this new functionality. Thanks again!

@darkpollo Oh, sorry. It turns out that that link worked because I'm logged in to defcon.social.

I've crowbarred your comment into my dev instance for PieFed instead: https://pythag.net/post/4695#comment_27962

@phenomlab @cagatay long story short, it works, but this community is running NodeBB v4.1, which is slightly different. Should all work fine once v4.1 is released and everybody updates.
