NodeBB 4.2.0
-
Hello all <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=c8c96a20283" title="
" />Today we're releasing NodeBB v4.2.0. Most of the changes pertain to minor updates to our existing ActivityPub integration.
- Categories can now follow regular users
- v4 launched with the ability for NodeBB to synchronize categories with other "group" type remote accounts. While it was possible to follow regular users, their content did not properly load into the category. This has now been fixed.
- Actual handling (not just pretend
) of content from Ghost <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f47b.png?v=c8c96a20283" title="
" /> - Added button to view original profile of remote users
- Better handling of content for remote chat messages (non-public notes)
- Forking and moving posts between topics now announced by the category
- Separate chat message length cutoff for remote messages
- Improved link handling on remote content
- Categories now have a handle in the description; added an additional setting for a remote-only addendum for local categories
The "View Original" button for user profiles is located in the sidebar of any remote user profile:

@julian said in NodeBB 4.2.0:
> added an additional setting for a remote-only addendum for local categoriesA request I meant to raise several times, that I never seemed to remember to do. Amazing!

@2TonWaffle ah, nah, it means that prior to this release, posts from Ghost didn't come in properly and were dropped. Now they work:

What is the process to follow a federated account?

@eeeee if you have successfully followed the Lemmy community, then any new topics they share will be shown in the "Shares" page of their profile.
It's less-than-ideal, so I am refactoring that entire system now so that you will be able to "browse" that community like a regular NodeBB category.

As for the follow issue, try cancelling the follow, waiting perhaps a minute, and then following again, then wait a minute, and then refresh the page <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f606.png?v=c8c96a20283" title="

@julian Can’t middle-click with MacBook’s trackpad <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f605.png?v=c8c96a20283" title="
" />But I could cmd-click it for the same effect, yes (and I already do that); it’s just I’d rather it opened in a new tab by default.
That how any other external link is treated after all, e.g. example.com <- clicking that opens in a new tab by default.

@AltCode ackchyually... it opens in the same tab for me.
... because there's a user setting for it
I'll update it to respect that user setting.
