… in [email protected] group nothing arrived There is a post I made earlier (using [email protected]) but not this latest one from isurg@nodebb

Ok I tried this as as a root post

It didnt get there. Whereas I can post into that community with my similar named lemm.ee account

Ok, if I can give specific example. I found a community via lemmy which is interesting. @[email protected] If I want to post a topic in it, can I make a nodebb post and send it there?

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?

Thanks @Kichae I hadn’t realised that functionality was already there!

I did ask chatgpt, its new super familiar / friendly tone surprised me :ghost:

I think some of the words, make ActivityPub more complicated to understand. Like what is an Actor ? This may be basic to some, but Im still not sure what an Actor is in this context, and why that word was used. Would be grateful if anyone can explain in one line :)

I’ve signed up for a Lemmy instance to try that, waiting on approval. Lemmy has a box so you can type in answer to question, e.g. ‘Write a line saying why you want to join this forum’ It would be a useful feature addition if nodeBB had this option built in, or on ACP plugins list, because I am still getting a lot of Spam registrations, and without knowing why someone wants to join its still hard to know who to authorise and who to reject
