Are there any recent/current write ups about @Discourse federation model?

django

I’ve also seen there is some kind of interaction with a mastodon account if specified by a forum user…
@deadsuperhero @laurenshof ?

@[email protected] what would you like to know? Both NodeBB and Discourse are federating now.

@julian I see categories can be followed.
Can remote users create Topics in these categories, or only reply to existing threads?

There also seems to be a thing where forum categories can follow other actors.

And some sort mastodon integration to forum users.

@[email protected] yes, categories can be followed, and they actike Guppe groups. Right now you can't compose directly to a category but that's something I'll be working on soon!

Category actors in NodeBB can follow other actors too, just like regular users. Any content posted by followed users will be boosted by the category.

So if you have two categories that follow one another, which there are a couple between NodeBB and SocialHub (running Discourse), they're synced up!
