    **tl;dr** — you can now find remote categories and see your tracked/watched categories in `/world`. A new alpha version of NodeBB was tagged today: v4.3.0-alpha.3. The biggest change is to the `/world` route, which up until now showed a list of topics from outside of the local NodeBB instance. New to this alpha release: 1. A quick search widget was added, allowing you to directly search for remote categories. There is no need to navigate to to the search page to discover new categories. 1. Your list of _tracked_ and _watched_ categories will show at the top of the page. * "Tracking" and "Watching" categories—both local and remote—is how content discovery happens in NodeBB. _Tracked_ categories will have new content show up in the "unread" page, while _watched_ categories take that a step further and _notify_ you when new content is posted. * Tracking and watching a category will tell NodeBB to subscribe to that remote community for updates At this time we're continuing to look for stability issues with the remote category integration. We'll be working on QoL fixes as we move into the beta phase this/next week. ![60bd030a-7626-4629-9ac4-8ddd2bd34f3f-image.png](https://community.nodebb.org/assets/uploads/files/1744055639036-60bd030a-7626-4629-9ac4-8ddd2bd34f3f-image.png) ![0a11627f-65cc-477b-8c33-49f1ea6de53f-image.png](https://community.nodebb.org/assets/uploads/files/1744055651224-0a11627f-65cc-477b-8c33-49f1ea6de53f-image.png)

      This is incredible, Julian. I'm legitimately kind of stunned by this, how well it's working already, and how quickly this got refactored.

        This looks good. Just my thoughts on Lemmy, I have various issues with it not federating well to various site at times. I mention this only if you encounter testing issues with Lemmy, more likely the issue is their side. It has some good features but its frustrating as the instance I use appears to have issues at times!

          [@eeeee](/user/eeeee%40community.nodebb.org) Yeah, Lemmy rougher are the edges than it looks sometimes. Part of the issue, I think, is that older versions of the software don't parallelize federation, so the queues can get way backed up. I've also just had follow requests from nodeBB dropped at an unusually high rate, which makes me think that Lemmy is doing things internally to compensate for some of the sharp edges of federation.

            Does this refactoring also include changes to the synchronization of local + remote categories? Or is it still trying to follow Group actors as a Group, which Lemmy does not like?

                  I've successfully managed to find and track https://sh.itjust.works/c/localllama from my instance. But when I try, for example, https://lemmy.world/c/technology, I can't find anything. These Lemmy communities DO, however, show up as users on my NodeBB instance. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I tried going directly to /category/[@technology@lemmy.world](https://forum.agnos.is/user/technology%40lemmy.world) too.

                    What exactly do you mean with parallel federation and queues backed up? There is such a feature but only a single case that requires it, which is federation from lemmy.world to aussie.zone. NodeBB wont be affected by that.

                      [@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is](https://community.nodebb.org/user/projectmoon%40forum.agnos.is) have you tried navigating directly to the url without the preceding `@`? It isn't required (for NodeBB). In cases where the category is currently a user, you'll have to put the whole handle into the search box and execute the search, the category will then be migrated from the user.

                          After restarting NodeBB, I can load the category, though. Maybe some deadlock on initial import of the community.

                              [@nutomic@lemmy.ml](https://community.nodebb.org/user/nutomic%40lemmy.ml) Mostly what I've observed is significant instances of timing out when trying to find communities on new instances from non-Lemmy-based websites, something that hasn't been notable from Lemmy-to-Lemmy first encounters.

                                Great to see! Existed to see better interoperability between Threadiverse software! Will be cool to see NodeBB users posting in Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed communities

                                  In principle that sounds like a problem with NodeBB or other platforms you are using. Lemmy doesnt do anything special to fetch remote communities. But if you notice any error responses served by Lemmy you can open an issue.

                                    I just realized that while we now have the ability to browse and follow remote communities, we don't have a page listing communities ordered by popularity or recency... time to add to my ever expanding list 😩

                                      Is it also possible to add remote communities to the main forum list? Or merge them into existing local categories?

                                        Right now you're able to add remote categories to your world page. It's possible that we could allow admins to add remote categories to the forum index, although that'd be something we add later on.

                                          I'm seeing issues with loading remote categories. I can't load the NodeBB bug reports category at all, and for the ActivityPub category, I can find it in my world category search, but I get a 404 when trying to load it. Also can't load `general-discussion@community.nodebb.org` for example. It seems the NodeBB development board is the only one really federating for me. Any way I can solve this? I am running beta2 of 4.3.0.
