Seems my testing ground can't follow sync with group actors/remote categories. I'm assuming the null id is related, but haven't figured out how to remove it yet (unfollow button just refreshes the page)

As a stopgap solution until Lemmy fixes this, would it make sense to have some kind of auto assignment of categories to posts, based on tags? Is there a plugin for that?

Not a bad idea. Whipped one up that can work on local and remote posts (though they might need to be followed by the category for it to count? Unsure if it'll work without that)

@arachnibot yes, offhand I think it should (although I didn't check the code).

When remote content is parsed I just call the same internal methods to create a topic.

@[email protected] can you share a link to it?

@[email protected] @arachnibot I love how I want to add this to the core logic and someone beats me to it with a third party plugin.

It's absolutely fantastic, and exactly how our plugin system should work!

Was a link posted to it? Also I'm noticing that edits don't seem to fully federate. 🤨

@[email protected] no link yet, was just speaking hypothetically
