I have been following a Lemmy community from Firefish and I only get original posts, you can see this behaviour here: https://electricrequiem.com/@comradeship@lemmygrad.ml However Firefish has had problems with following Lemmy communities so this may not be the default behaviour from Mastodon. Still, I do think that boosting all replies is not ideal, especially for busy forums. If a topic gets say 50 replies, it can really flood your timeline. Also personally I have set up my Firefish account to only show me original posts (and boosts), to have a cleaner and more compact timeline. With a forum account that boosts everything, you can't filter replies, they all end up in your timeline. So my suggestion was to perhaps create two accounts for following a forum, one than boosts everything and one that boosts only original posts. This way users would get a choice, and if they find that following everything makes their timeline too busy, they can choose to get only original posts, instead of unfollowing the forum completely.

@jiejie@mastodon.social good question! The answer ultimately lies in how you want to communicate with your audience. Each option is different and it's hard for you to know which software is the best fit. That's why even when I say NodeBB sits somewhere in between microblogs and blogs, NodeBB might not be the right solution, yeah? What kind of site do you want to build, how in depth do you want to go, etc.?

@silverpill@mitra.social looks like the label was removed because GitHub introduced issue types.

@mariusor@metalhead.club @silverpill@mitra.social nomadic identity as I understand it allows you to keep your ID if you switch instances, which is similar but not the same as being able to log into and use Site A using an account from Site B.

@frankm@linux-nerds.org you'll have to manually add the /world route to the navigation, since you are coming from an older install. You can drag the item from the preconfigured list in the ACP.

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is yes, Lemmy has a local representation of this category, and sends the post here. I see that it's addressed to the category and automatically slot it in

@Jakub-Urbanowicz http://forum_n66_pl this suggests there's an upstream block. Can you paste your entire nginx config?
