Hello all :smile:
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 :ghost:
- 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:

Could this button be made to open the original profile in a new tab?
Actually, it occurs to me that the "View Original Post" behaves the same. I'd much rather all "view original ..." buttons opened the remote content in a new tab.
@AltCode you can middle click it 😀
@julian Can’t middle-click with MacBook’s trackpad :sweat_smile:
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.
