NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
-
@julian I read this whole thing wondering how NodeBB posts would look from my instance and then clicked your link at the end and realized I'd been reading one the whole time lol. Super cool, hope this takes off!

@[email protected] thanks for the suggestion, that's definitely something I'd want to consider.
Sort of a post queue for federated content that needs automatic or manual review before it is automatically slotted in a category.

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

@[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

@julian so cool, can't wait to upgrade my nodebb forum to V4 (I'm exclusively on mobile for a few days)

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.

If you have deployed NodeBB v4, and you updated to v4.0.1, please update now to v4.0.2 which fixes a regression that silently broke outgoing user follows.

Do we need need to refollow? -

@[email protected] if you browse to the account it will show as unfollowed, so you will need to refollow, yes.
