NodeBB v4.0.0 - Categories not following group actors

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)

Should probably also mention that the pending actors have been that way for a few days. I can see their posts in my /world, and similarly can see posts my test category federates out, but nothing feom external groups syncs in it seems

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.

@arachnibot@community.nodebb.org can you share a link to it?

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is @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. 🤨

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is Adding UI for settings today. Will put on github once that's done (though I can share the core snippet in a bit). It can also work for auto-moving local tagged posts as well.
Should also mention that not every post from remote actors is tagged, so it might not catch everything. Could possibly have it just read any uncategorized posts and move based on users instead? Might be a better workaround for core, but if you have any thoughts let me know @julian@community.nodebb.org

Sounds good. Looking forward to trying it out. If there's a way to tie the post back to a Group Actor "user" (which are the local NodeBB users that share/boost the content within NodeBB), then you could probably make the algorithm more reliable. I don't know anything about the internals of NodeBB, though. Just spitballing ideas.

A future version of Lemmy will remove
audience. You'll have to dereference the addressing fields (to,cc). -

Got it! I just noticed something similar, so thanks for the confirmation!

Ok! Almost set up with the plugin (though ACP controls are still pending for now). On the dev branch until I get the gui for config done.
https://github.com/Arachnibot/nodebb-tag-to-category/tree/dev
Only bug remaining is topics are not federated out by the group correctly. If anyone knows what triggers the category actor to share a post, let me know!

Your local account boosts it but not the category. That's a feature I'd like to add to core, please open an issue.

I'm very eager to try this plugin lol. Have you put it up on GitHub somewhere yet?
