@julian My intended (small) user group is not tech savvy and no one will bother to browse the forum in one place and register for and receive notifications in another place(which is what happens with ntfy), thereby missing out web push notifications. I don't have any problem with what plugin is used under the hood(firebase or ntfy), the only thing is web push notifications should be received under the same domain as the forum and clicking on it should open the respective post/comment.

The world/all category is where you can see posts from the fediverse(activitypub)

@Bharat-Rathi Is it open source? If yes, please provide link to the source.

@Bejan The push notification plugin has already been open sourced https://community.nodebb.org/post/99553 by @julian

@julian For me, discovering content from other servers is somewhat non-coherent in nodebb (as compared to mastodon and misskey) at the moment. On Sunday, I followed @[email protected] (hosted on a peertube instance) on kokonnect -which is based on misskey , mastodon as well as here.
Today, when I opened community.nodebb.org(home as well as /world), there was no content from the thelinuxexperiment account, also the same thing happened in kokonnect.link . However, in mastodon the first post which I got was from thelinuxexperiment account(pic attached), also I could play the video inline without leaving mastodon and boost the post, and thus was completely satisfied.

Since, I did not find any post from thelinuxexperiment on my timeline in kokonnect.link, I searched the user on kokonect(since I was already following) and in that page I got all posts, could play the video inline as was also able to boost the video(pic attached), and so was partially satisfied

However, I got a poor experience here. I searched the user and did not find any posts, then I specifically opened the posts page but could not find any posts there also(pic attached), thereby leaving me completely unsatisfied

I got some nice and cheap dedicated hardware during black friday and would like to host two activitypub servers on it-one for video hosting and one for general discussion. For video hosting, I have decided to go with peertube. For general discussion, nodebb was my first preference and misskey the second one. However, without proper content following and discovering mechanism I will have no option but to go for misskey. So, requesting you that before the final release of v4 in January,2025 , please improve the content discovery mechanism, if not like mastodon at least make it similar to that of misskey.

@julian Would like to suggest two improvements in the service-worker of NodeBB before version 4(GA) is released-

1. Web-push notification support. You open sourced the firebase plugin but that doesn't seem to be working.
2. Offline caching of (one-to-one)chats.
   May be I can also make a PR if you can guide me from where to start.

@oplik0 @julian It would be nice to have proper web push by 4.0 beta release

@julian No, thanks to the fact that you have made NodeBB quite light and efficient, it is running well on a sub $20/month dedicated server.

@julian Apparently that . in the username was causing the issue. Changing threads username from bh4.tech to bh4_tech solved the issue.

Yes, it was indeed a privilege issue. On desktop, I was logged in as instance admin while on mobile as a normal user. Sorry, for troubling you.

Yes, I can. Have upvoted it also.

Seems I found the solution. One of the required headers was commented in the nginx config file. This coupled with cloudflare proxy was causing the issue. After fixing, I sent a DM to ekk.app and that was successfully received.
Now, shall try a public mention
@[email protected] Did you receive the post?
