So I was wondering if there was a way for me to have a Category follow a federated account.
I can’t seem to find the way to do it if that’s possible.
But optimally the category would post a topic related to the new posts the followed account would post. Or something like that.
@julian Are categories supposed to follow regular users from this
screen in admin panel. Asking this because I tried putting a mastodon user profile link in the textbox but upon clicking on ‘Follow’ nothing happened. For threads, the request is pending(with some error, I guess) as you can see from the picture.
@bh4-tech can you supply the URLs you tried to follow please?
@julian https://www.threads.net/@khabydistas on threads and https://mastodon.social/@dansup on mastodon
@bh4-tech might be not working because I did not expect urls. Can you try a handle like
dansup@mastodon.social?@julian Yeah that worked for mastodon, but not for threads. Guess that’s some problem on thread’s side and not nodebb.
However, the remote media preview problem still remains https://community.nodebb.org/post/103782 . Guess you will need to cache remote media like misskey.
