I do my first steps with activity pub. It looks like a really interesting piece of software.

Now i can follow some user and so on. Works fine.

Next i will, when i post on the Fediverse that this post landed in an category (NodeBB).

In documentation i find this.

Whether a remote user can create a topic in that category by mentioning it

So i send this post.

#ActivityPub Testing

@Radfahren

Now i think that this post will be move to the category Radfahren

The post will only be landed in /world.

What i do wrong?

Privileges issue?
https://docs.nodebb.org/activitypub/privileges/

Radfahren is my cid in my nodebb forum. (category 4)

Now i do this post on https://nrw.social/

#ActivityPub Testing

@Radfahren

I think @Radfahren will post it to my cid 4 on my forum. But i can't see it

@frankm@radforum-duesseldorf.de I mean to ask, what do you see when you run

git rev-parse HEAD?

Uups, here the info.

git rev-parse HEAD

You have different domain for forum and for your remote user name.

@frankm@radforum-duesseldorf.de I cannot reproduce the issue, I was able to successfully mention a category and NodeBB automatically picked up the topic and categorized it as expected.

The only thing I can suggest is to pull the latest commit from the git repo?

I don't get it to work. I have checked the source code. The fix from @julian Commit 55ab85a is in my code. I have rebuild & restart NodeBB several times.

I think i don't have understand how it works. What i must do exactly to mentioned a category. In settings i has three servers and i have checked Use this as an Allow List instead.

Now i will post from my account @FrankM@nrw.social to my forum https://radforum-duesseldorf.de/world. That works all fine. But i need that when i mentioned a category that my NodeBB Forum will send it to this category. How i must mentioned it? I have test it in all possible options.

When i mentioned it

@radfahren@radforum-duesseldorf.de 

it won't work. Same with only

@radfahren 

So, what i am doing wrong. Please help.

Your World button in the menu is not yet translated. So some differences between your instance and NodeBB Community do exist.

@FrankM can you show me the post on nrw.social?

@julian@community.nodebb.org

Normally, i delete the post when it don't work. Here is a new one.
