Interesting federation jank between Mastodon and multiple nodeBB sites
-
I was looking at this post from my own forum (nBB 4.0.3) via various vectors, and trying to pull it in from here resulted in a couple of hiccups.
- Searching the posts community.nodebb.org URL did not pull the post and its comments. Naturally, searching the original URL works fine (though does not fetch the comments, naturally)
- Fetching my comment from that post does fetch the post and full comment chain, but your comment, @julian, is surprisingly empty (link)
Just thought you'd like to know.

I wonder if it is related to the recent change that showed an "in reply to" bar above a post? I've noticed that that is sometimes empty too.

It should've, what URL did you specifically try to pull?
This URL should pull the entire topic:
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/d9a56cb0-3d17-4d72-a9f7-592421e1c9d1/what-s-a-good-lightweight-good-moderation-tools-foss-forum-system-these-days
This URL (the original post's original URL) should pull only the OP:
https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/users/neil/statuses/113991455813168788
As for my comment being empty, does it come back if you restart your NodeBB? Not that you should need to, just want to see...

@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!

@Kichae thanks, will have to play around a bit to see what's going on.

@Kichae the github issue is here:
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13172
I think I found the source of the problem and fixed it. Try updating to the latest
masterordevelopcommit and see if it still happens. -
I can no longer reproduce the issue!
