Very complicated all this Fediverse stuff! Far from the dream of having one account for everything, I seemed to need an account on every service to get the whole picture. I have now Nodebb, Mastodon, Lemmy, PixelFed and Peertube! I dont know if Im just not using it properly, or if seeing everything from any one of these site is even possible? @julian how far off is the prospect of using my nodebb account for all Federated chat, is that even achievable in long term?

      @eeeee it is likely due to audience.

      So, what happens on your end is you make a topic and mention the Lemmy community.

      When NodeBB federates that post out, the Lemmy community is included in the mentions, but it also specifies your category 18, World Chat, in audience.

      If Lemmy sees that, and it doesn’t know about that community already, it will drop the activity immediately. If it does, then it will likely slot the post into the “World Chat on isurg.com” community on that Lemmy instance.

      Lemmy removed audience checking, so this might be a non-issue. Once that Lemmy instance updates to the latest version, it’ll hopefully post to the correct community.

      That’s a tricky one, though, because which community should it post to?

      • “Medicine” on mander.xyz, or
      • “World Chat” on isurg.com?
  • eeeee@community.nodebb.orgOP

    I get your dilema about should it post in world or in medicine@mander.xyz So if I want it to go in mander@xyz how to specify that?
