@Twissell easiest way is to test the follows using temporary users via activitypub.academy

Tag me directly (or @julian@activitypub.space) if you encounter any federation issues!

@Twissell hmm I suppose there's no particular reason for its omission. We can add it.

@tahirmehmoodkhokhar forums have a long history of being paired with gaming. Many of the top AAA gaming companies have (or had) forums.

Discord has supplanted them but it provides a far inferior experience compared to a forum.

@baris don't we already automatically collapse blockquotes?

@evan@cosocial.ca quite possibly yes 🙂

Perhaps the concept of a bug bounty program is antiquated. We shall see how that shakes out.

@Moshe oh the horror :scream:

@dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone good god did you reply to an 11 year old post? 😝

@panos okay, it turns out your account (and like 5 others, me included) had started "tracking" the /world category, which didn't really make sense. I removed that option awhile back, but the setting probably stayed behind.

I've cleared that setting and manually flushed your inbox now, so you should see a more sane /world page going forward.

@panos Understood, the user searching issue is still outstanding, but the workaround for now is to not put a domain in. Searching panos or panos@ should still show your related remote accounts. Not the best workaround, I know.

As for the former issue, are you not following lashman?

@Twissell ps if your forum has federation turned on you can tag us directly from your forum too! 😝

Yeah that's the tricky part, since I've thrown away the original create long ago, so if I'm including it in the outbox after the fact all I can really do is Announce(Object) by reference, even if originally when it happened I might've properly announced the whole activity... I know Mastodon understands Announce(Object), but is that a proper use case?

Really? I can wrap a remote object in a Create of my own?

I suppose nothing is stopping me but I figured it was disingenuous.

@omega I think in your case, because you are not following any remote accounts, your /world feed would be empty. I really wonder what you are seeing :sweat:

I should add some redirect in there so that it automatically updates the sorting to popular, which is not limited to your followers.

@omega the /world page should show content from users outside of the instance that you follow. For users starting out that would be nobody, so it's an empty feed.

Not exactly the best user experience, I grant you.

Until you get some followers, maybe try the "popular" sort?

Hey @johnackerman, is this happening repeatedly to users, or just one-off sessions from before the upgrade?

Thanks @Kichae, this is all valuable feedback!

Regarding the last one, where OP is in the preview, that could be because the forum is configured to show the OP in the teaser. I think maybe I can adjust this so that /world always shows only replies...

@hemiechinuss v4.1.0 does, now.

@hemiechinuss I've updated the support-forum plugin for v4 compatibility, it didn't need much, just a light ACP page refresh.

@hemiechinuss since it's my plugin at least it's easier to do. I'll make a point of looking into it Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday)

Oh actually NodeBB has fine-grained privileges. You're able to restrict categories by posting or viewing privileges. Privileges can be applied to user groups and individual users.

All of this is handled at the admin level in the admin control panel.
