They show up as a link to a long uuid, which when clicked, goes to 404.

If you have a wireless card (or don’t need wireless) capable of working with Linux Libre, then by all means use it. There is no technological advantage to using Linux-Libre. There are principle advantages. I say this as someone who uses Linux-Libre on my Gentoo laptop (and maintains an overlay with an ebuild for Linux-Libre).

@[email protected] Adding UI for settings today. Will put on github once that’s done (though I can share the core snippet in a bit). It can also work for auto-moving local tagged posts as well.

Should also mention that not every post from remote actors is tagged, so it might not catch everything. Could possibly have it just read any uncategorized posts and move based on users instead? Might be a better workaround for core, but if you have any thoughts let me know @[email protected]

Sounds good. Looking forward to trying it out. If there’s a way to tie the post back to a Group Actor “user” (which are the local NodeBB users that share/boost the content within NodeBB), then you could probably make the algorithm more reliable. I don’t know anything about the internals of NodeBB, though. Just spitballing ideas.

@[email protected] careful with that though, not all tags are the same, some have a higher signal-to-noise ratio, but others would just be filled with garbage 😬

I think the best way, then, would be to have rules that map various group actor URLs to categories, and possibly also tags. Nothing automatic. Only configured. Of course, once Lemmy fixes the ability of Group actors to follow other Group actors, this will be a non-issue.

One other possible solution, which is employed by Misskey et al., is a proxy actor. It’s a special user that follows other users, and relays info within its own instance. It’s used for doing things like adding a remote user to a list without directly following them. The proxy account follows the user, and then your local instance adds the remote user to your list. But all ActivityPub interactions go through the proxy user.

Was a link posted to it? Also I’m noticing that edits don’t seem to fully federate. 🤨

@[email protected] funnily enough, I switched from Linkwarden to Hoarder. I like the smart lists. Just bookmark everything, check it later.

@[email protected] can you share a link to it?

I see this in my own forum, because it synchronized to nodebb.org, and then to me. How was it posted? By using the NodeBB forum as a Lemmy community?

@[email protected] Thanks. Even something as simple as mappin topic tags to categories automatically would work I think.

@[email protected] no. I use the app service one. It works well, but it’s basically for bridging public channels. The Mautrix bridges all work very well. I’ve used the Facebook one in the past. It’s just the limits those platforms put on the bridge (e.g. banning or locking account) that can be a problem. If your bridge is connecting from the same place as you normally connect to Discord from, you should be fine.

@[email protected] which discord bridge? For Matrix? The one that operates as a Discord bot works perfectly. Don’t know about the ones that want your login token.

@[email protected] don’t got any of those.

We just moved some months ago. Still gotta put things in the proper place. A pile of boxes in the shed isn’t “organized.” 🫠

@[email protected] I definitely don’t have that kind of money lol.

This is something I aspire to. I have little space, and use it so badly.

@[email protected] said in NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!:

I’m wondering, as a stopgap solution, would it make sense to have some kind of rules engine that allows topics coming in from the fediverse to automatically be moved to NodeBB categories? Kind of like a somewhat less elegant sync.

Edit: like automatically assigning incoming topics based on tags seems like a particularly easy solution?

I’ve just installed a new instance of NodeBB and it works beautifully. Some questions:

1. Is it possible for categories to follow Lemmy communities in their sync settings? I seem to be able to follow Lemmy communities, but the categories are stuck on pending.
2. Same for NodeBB categories. Can I sync my own category with remote NodeBB categories?

Edit: the URLs stuck on pending are giving “invalid-id” errors in the log. As in invalid activitypub ids. I pasted the URLs of some Lemmy communities and NodeBB categories.

Edit 2: Found the topic about this. https://community.nodebb.org/post/102818

That was… fast? The game hasn’t been out that long, has it?

@[email protected] Pretty sure that ignoring micro-transactions has always been “a thing” to take a stand against. But of course, when it comes to the general public, no one ever does.
