eeeee

Just to say there are a lot of things NodeBB is getting right, in comparison to other Federated sites. Mastodon is ok in some respects but when replies to threads come through, the response appears in the feed alone and out of context! Nodebb shows the whole thread in World, which is far better for following the discussion. As for Lemmy, not sure if the instance Im on is updated to latest version, but some things dont work well. @Julian I only heard about Lemmy via you .. (Sometimes I wish Id never gone there lol) It is good for searching, but its been problematic in other areas. Do you know who codes Lemmy and do they visit here, or is it someone in your federation network?

And, as for Threads, I thought that was going to be Fediverse compatible? I turned the Federate setting on but no messages I tried were ever sent or received! ?

@julian I have upgraded to v4.2, but the world posts with no details came in before upgrade. So it looks like its fixed :)

Theres improvement, more in my World now on the tags Im following, but posts say by 'Guest'. When Im looking at the same thing from Lemmy there is more detail?

Edit these posts were ones that arrived before the upgrade to v4.2

If a site has a 'niche' theme and you want to find people with likeminded interests out in the Fediverse, the searching would be useful. Correct me if I am wrong, but Mastodon doesn't seem to have categories, Ive only seen it on Lemmy. In a way a category on Lemmy is like a nodebb instance, as most nodebb instances are for a certain area. So one might argue that posting on a particular nodebb forum is akin to posting on a Lemmy category?

My first experience with Federation was with Calckey, (fork of Miskey.) I liked some things about it, but there were forks of forks and I never knew in the end which variant of it was best to use :)

It happened earlier today, but now its ok. .. I will do some more testing to determine when its an issue

Edit: Seems to be working fine. Maybe I was in low signal area when it didnt earlier

Edit: no problem with posted messages showing now

Yea, odd, I made a second account on mysite and that follows and unfollows normally. So its a mystery why my first Admin account is doing it differently. Maybe one day we will figure out whats altering the behaviour

Thanks, I tried unfollowing and following again, but its always the same. On this instance it says following and my one it says 'cancel follow request' although the pop up box said 'You are now follwing etc'

Edit: I tried from an non admin account on my instance, that does the normal follow/unfollow, like here.

So wheres the code that makes it different for admins, as that doesnt make any sense to have it different?

.. in medicine@mander.xyz group nothing arrived There is a post I made earlier (using isurg@lemm.ee) but not this latest one from isurg@nodebb

Ok I tried this as as a root post

It didnt get there. Whereas I can post into that community with my similar named lemm.ee account
