@julian That’s the URL I’ve tried to use. It just won’t fetch it for some reason. But if I search any of the comments, it’ll pull it in just fine. https://community.nodebb.org/post/103252, for instance, pulls the whole thread in.
Restarting nodeBB renders your missing comment, though!
Most other people won’t realize it either, I don’t think. I’ve just been clicking on everything with abandon and stumbled across it.
There’s a lot that can be done to make off-site content a bigger part of the forum user experience going forward, but I would agree that this is a big one. The mechanism is already there to do this – the All Topics button gives you the forum’s global feed – it could just use a little finessing.
I tried to sync @testing@chebucto.club with @testing-ground.
@julian said in Is ActivityPub too complicated?: > Let me look into nodebb-to-nodebb folllowing, that definitely should be working!
Have you verified that it is? Because I’m getting a never-ending Pending status when trying to sync to @testing-ground. Things federate fine, but without the syncing being established, they either don’t get addressed to my instance, or are dumped into /world if I specifically reference someone on my site. And it’s a little weird that they’re not all ending up in /world, because I have an account that’s following @testing-ground.
I can no longer reproduce the issue! :fireworks:
