@julian@community.nodebb.org Yep, that makes sense. I believe that both our WordPress site and PeerTube channels are technically Group Actors, though I will have to revisit that. I just think it would be interesting to use ActivityPub to automatically submit posts to our various categories, such as our podcast automatically posting to a Podcast category, or our news articles about the Fediverse to appear as forum submissions under the Fediverse category. The effect of this would be that Actors could automatically have content announced to various groups in a native way, so Lemmy or PieFed or MBin users subscribed to @fediverse@forum.wedistribute.org would see that content as submissions that could be upvoted or interacted with.

@julian@community.nodebb.org Hey, no problem! I think the biggest stumbling block was understanding how federation works. For example, if my forum has ActivityPub enabled, and I create a category, do I have to do anything to fetch it from another platform? The answer is that federation works automatically, and the category shortname is what's used for a federation lookup. So "announcements" becomes @announcements@forum.wedistribute.org. It's mostly little things like that, spelling out the standard behavior and explaining outcomes. I'd be happy to contribute documentation as I continue to use NodeBB!

@julian@community.nodebb.org Oh wow, I just saw that it automatically appeared on Lemmy after a few minutes. 🤯

Hey @julian@community.nodebb.org I'm currently experimenting with a NodeBB setup that has ActivityPub enabled. I saw that documentation was a little bit sparse, and just wanted to expand my understanding. I've seen NodeBB interact with different parts of the Fediverse. In my setup, I see that categories can follow existing Actors, such as profiles, blogs, and Lemmy Groups. Are categories themselves capable of being Actors in NodeBB? We're kind of interested in maybe setting up a user community on We Distribute's infra, and integrating into the Threadiverse with Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and everyone else. I'm just trying to understand capabilities and limitations.

@liaizon@wake.st @julian@community.nodebb.org Seeing the same thing in Akkoma, not sure what it is.
