We just released version 4.1.0 of NodeBB. Here are the latest features you can now take advantage of!
As an aside, for the first time in a long while, both @baris and I are working on the same codebase again. Up until version 4 was released, I'd been working on the activitypub branch and periodically merging in the latest changes from develop. It's nice to be home! :house_with_garden:
Improved federation of Group actors :left_speech_bubble:
We've improved the activity synchronization for followed group actors. Local updates/likes/etc. are now federated outward by the category in addition to those from remote users. Thanks to @rimu@piefed.social and @freamon who worked with me on debugging this one.
Mentions and Emoji now federating out in source.content :wave:
Emoji and mentions have been sent out to followers since v4, but that wasn't reflected in the raw markdown content that we also send along. That has been remediated now, and this change improves nodebb-to-nodebb federation.
Video object type now parseable :tv:
NodeBB is now able to ingest Peertube Video objects, and render then in a topic just like other pieces of content. Thanks @deadsuperhero@forum.wedistribute.org for prodding me to get this sorted out!
@julian Is Video support limited to just Peertube videos? Asking this because, a video post on threads renders properly on mastodon and kokonnect(misskey fork) but only the text is displayed and not the video on my nodeb instance running 4.1.0. The post is https://www.threads.net/@b4htech/post/DGmUEn7y76q?xmt=AQGz1bBLfaQf_DsxBxScCQa7LxwcwQD3CSh5bf7j8nU0fA

@bh4-tech might be a caching issue. Any chance you can restart your NodeBB and see if the link shows up?
Right now the video player won't embed, but the minimum should be a link.
