NodeBB 4.2.0
-
Theres improvement, more in my World now on the tags Im following, but these posts all say by 'Guest'.
When Im looking at the same thing from Lemmy there is more detail?
Are some of the fields not being picked up?@eeeee are you running v4.2.0? I wasn't seeing that here, so I assumed it was a regression that was fixed.
-
Wow, wild! It's been incredible seeing how quickly NodeBB has been getting updates. You're hard to keep up with!
-
@julian I have upgraded to v4.2, but the world posts with no details came in before upgrade. I will keep eye on that as it could be fixed when something new comes in

What is the process to follow a federated account?
-
@CWSmith You can search for a user either via the search bar or in the
/userspage. Just paste in their handle (e.g.@julian@community.nodebb.org.) The follow button is then in their profile much like following a local user on NodeBB. -
@eeeee if you have successfully followed the Lemmy community, then any new topics they share will be shown in the "Shares" page of their profile.
It's less-than-ideal, so I am refactoring that entire system now so that you will be able to "browse" that community like a regular NodeBB category.

As for the follow issue, try cancelling the follow, waiting perhaps a minute, and then following again, then wait a minute, and then refresh the page

@julian said in NodeBB 4.2.0:
> Added button to view original profile of remote usersCould this button be made to open the original profile in a new tab?
Actually, it occurs to me that the "View Original Post" behaves the same. I'd much rather all "view original ..." buttons opened the remote content in a new tab.

@AltCode you can middle click it
-
@julian Can’t middle-click with MacBook’s trackpad
But I could cmd-click it for the same effect, yes (and I already do that); it’s just I’d rather it opened in a new tab by default.
That how any other external link is treated after all, e.g. example.com <- clicking that opens in a new tab by default.
-
@AltCode ackchyually... it opens in the same tab for me.
... because there's a user setting for it
I'll update it to respect that user setting.
