What is the process to follow a federated account?

@julian

No problem.

In my head I was thinking of a Federated account like a WordPress blog that has ActivityPub installed and confirmed working. Everyone in the Fediverse can see it, but having it followed and posted in Forum puts it there in front of the Community for a more direct conversation.

I am gonna start installing and trying to figure out ActivityPub into my Drupal projects even if I am not thrilled with my previous dealings with that module.

 

So I was wondering if there was a way for me to have a Category follow a federated account.

I can't seem to find the way to do it if that's possible.

But optimally the category would post a topic related to the new posts the followed account would post. Or something like that.

It is an major paradigm shift for a lot of folk.

I haven't had much of an issue, but I also have been sort of creating Federated Communities and I end up with Accounts on all of them due to being the Admin.

But when I am just on my Mastodon personal instance it's so freaking nice not to have to worry about.

No, but it is interesting.

Honestly I sort of want to keep Comments and community a little seperate. Thought being able to just federate content would be simpler in a way.

Which seems the best way. I really don't want more people than needed in the CMS. Especially when it's just to comment on specific articles. This way the conversation can take place in the forums as well as be federated.

Now the trick is figuring out how to even do such a thing.

 

Was wondering if anyone had even thought of, let alone used NodeBB for Drupal comments? I kinda like the idea of using it instead of the default comment system. It allows some more finer discussion control I think, while keeping unneeded people from having accounts on the content pages.

Is this even possible like I am thinking?
