We just released version 4.1.0 of NodeBB. Here are the latest features you can now take advantage of!
As an aside, for the first time in a long while, both @baris and I are working on the same codebase again. Up until version 4 was released, I’d been working on the activitypub branch and periodically merging in the latest changes from develop. It’s nice to be home! :house_with_garden:
Improved federation of Group actors :left_speech_bubble:
We’ve improved the activity synchronization for followed group actors. Local updates/likes/etc. are now federated outward by the category in addition to those from remote users. Thanks to @rimu@piefed.social and @freamon who worked with me on debugging this one.
Mentions and Emoji now federating out in source.content :wave:
Emoji and mentions have been sent out to followers since v4, but that wasn’t reflected in the raw markdown content that we also send along. That has been remediated now, and this change improves nodebb-to-nodebb federation.
Video object type now parseable :tv:
NodeBB is now able to ingest Peertube Video objects, and render then in a topic just like other pieces of content. Thanks @deadsuperhero@forum.wedistribute.org for prodding me to get this sorted out!
@julian did you have a chance to look at this issue of not being able to post into lemmy community? Aldo, posts from Lemmy mentioning my nodebb username arent coming through, but they do reach going the other direction It doesnt work from Lemmy->Nodebb whether the poster is only followed, or even when the Lemmy poster directly mentions nodebb user! This of course may be a Lemmy issue given that its working fine from Nodebb, and is fine with Mastodon
@eeeee If you mean ‘post’ in the sense that Lemmy means ‘post’ (i.e. something distinct from a comment), then Lemmy doesn’t process User Mentions in those. In a comment, you can Mention your NodeBB user and Lemmy will send it to the relevant instance, but nothing will happen if you Mention your NodeBB user in a post.
