Does anyone have any experience with both #NodeBB 's and #Discourse 's #ActivityPub / #Fediverse integrations?
-
@julian@activitypub.space yeah, this was the least important one, but I think that the problems with following/posts not being fetched/follows not going through are pretty important, these are essential parts of federation.

@panos@calckey.world if Sharkey users can't follow NodeBB users you'll have to take it up with the Sharkey devs. NodeBB sends back an Accept to a follow, as it does to Mastodon servers.

@julian@activitypub.space thanks, I informed them!
This still leaves serious issues that are on NodeBB's end though. This is my "World" page rn - posts from accounts and communities I follow aren't fetched (I'll report back on the communities after the refollow), and I'm getting random posts in my feed instead:

Same with Mastodon. But when I followed a NodeBB user, while the follow went through, it doesn't show an Accept being received from NodeBB. Tested this myself as well.

@julian@activitypub.space I can also report back about remote communities after I unfollowed and refollowed them, there was a new post in the Lemmy community I follow 5 hours ago but again it wasn't fetched by NodeBB. Still shows the last post to be from 10 days ago.

@julian @panos @general @liaizon I am also affected by this: https://activitypub.software/TransFem-org/Sharkey/-/issues/1212
They changed something in one of recent releases and now can't process

Acceptactivities.@silverpill @julian @general @panos @liaizon Sharkey can follow NodeBB users, I tried to follow julian using a friend's instance and it immediately returned a follow request accepted.
Sharkey version: 2025.4.5

@panos @liaizon @silverpill @julian @general Perhaps you need to contact the calckey.world administrator to find out what's going on? I've tested this from another instance and it works fine.

@julian@activitypub.space oh and also World has recently decided to show all incoming posts, similar to the Global/All servers timelines in other platforms, instead of posts from the accounts I follow. I can't seem to find a way to get a feed of accounts I follow.
@julian@activitypub.space do you have any updates on this? Sorry if I'm being pushy, but there are two communities where I want to suggest NodeBB, but I really can't do it if there is a possibility of accounts getting so messed up on the fedi side, with nobody knowing how to fix them. I can give you my credentials on your server too if that would help you figure out the problem.

@panos@calckey.world follower and following counts are incorrect, but it's only the counter that's incorrect. The actual follower and following lists are fine.
I will likely omit the follower and following pages from remote accounts...

@julian@activitypub.space I am not talking about this, I am talking about all the rest of the serious problems I describe above: communities' and users' posts not being fetched, and my "World" feed having turned into a global feed that seems to show me posts from the whole fediverse, except for accounts I actually follow! I have notified you about these problems since November and I don't understand how that's acceptable to you.

@panos@calckey.world please open an issue on the GitHub tracker so they're not forgotten.
If one exists, post a comment within, again, so I am reminded.
You're the only report of this happening, so I'm afraid I cannot fix things that I cannot reproduce.
Finally, I will nip this behaviour in the bud. Now. You are using FOSS software, there are no guarantees, and you are in no position to make me feel as though I owe you a single thing, nor are you in any position to make me reproritize my workload.
-
@julian@activitypub.space didn't mean to do any of these things, sorry you felt that way. It was genuine puzzlement, because I know you're serious about NodeBB and its fediverse integration. Again, if you want my credentials to investigate from my account since you can't reproduce it, I'll be happy to provide them. Take care.

@panos@calckey.world I am in the process of refactoring the
/worldfeed so this might be already handled. It's not available on community.nodebb.org yet, but it is live for testing on activitypub.space
