informapirata indeed! This is configurable under the site-wide ActivityPub settings under "auto categorization rules". For that site I have hashtags like "ActivityPub" and "fedimod" set up to automatically categorize discussions. It only matches for discussions that don't already have a category of their own (so, microblog stuff.)

Jon-Pincus hey check out that topic loading from within this NodeBB cc [email protected]

levihall140 I’ve upvoted your comment, you should be able to post faster now!

@julian Also, speaking of fixable deficiencies, my edits here don't seem to propagate to SocialHub . Without knowing the code I'm confident it's fixable because my edits did propagate to the NodeBB thread at https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18932/final-thoughts-re-fedicon-2025/14 , great to see!

@julian I have that mug!@chad @evan

[email protected] that's cool, so hopefully I'll have something to test against besides another NodeBB server

> Getting a critical mass of people to create yet another account was always a major obstacle. I see and have experienced this effect time and time again, and we're getting closer and closer to the point where the protocol implementations can abstract away the messy bits. Gaining critical mass among devs is the first step!

> One weakness I have noticed in NodeBB's current federation is that posts which are in reply to a topic (e.g. a Lemmy comment) show up as individual threads until (or if) the root post of that topic shows up in the local NodeBB. No, Lemmy does not implement either strategy, they rely on 1b12 only. If NodeBB is receiving parts of a topic that don't resolve up to the root-level post that might be something we can fix. I'll try to take a look at it.

[email protected] let me know if I got any of the details wrong. Much thanks to your team for the assist in debugging!
