@support@community.nodebb.org I’m trying to move a post from one topic to another. I haven’t had problems with this and it works really well. There’s one post I can’t move and I wonder if it is because it is a federated post. The post is one out of several that are off-topic, so I want to move that whole side-discussion into its own topic. The only post I can’t move is the federated post. What could be the reason?
Does it just disallow the post move? Or does it do something wacky?
I ran into an interesting hiccup just now while experimenting with merging remote topics, where it allowed the merge, but the new merged post was totally broken (triggered a
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')).I wonder what other interesting things happen when using forum mod tools on remote topics?
@kichae@community.nodebb.org I can click Move post and also select the post. I can navigate to the right topic and also type in the topic number. Bit then the Move button turns flat. Like I can’t even click it or nothing happens when I click it.
@malte@forum.fedi.dk Confirmed that the same thing’s happening for me. Interestingly, forking remote topics works fine. So, moving posts from a remote topic into another topic isn’t available, but moving them into a brand new topic is seemingly well supported (though the back-link on replies to remote content seems broken in the forked thread. Maybe it was broken in the original, too, though).
@Kichae @malte@forum.fedi.dk as you two have discovered, topic management tooling for remote topics is far less exhaustively tested 😅
The move post functionality specifically I don’t think has been tested at all, so:

Merging two remote topics together? Or one remote and one local?

I’m happy to test things out and can see there’s still a lot of bugs here and there. It’s encouraging to see it getting worked on. That makes me want to continue exploring!
I’ll try to look out for a new case and see if it works on my end too. Thanks!
