@eeeee if you have successfully followed the Lemmy community, then any new topics they share will be shown in the "Shares" page of their profile. It's less-than-ideal, so I am refactoring that entire system now so that you will be able to "browse" that community like a regular NodeBB category. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13255 As for the follow issue, try cancelling the follow, waiting perhaps a minute, and then following again, then wait a minute, and then refresh the page

And nice summary from @niccolove about the current situation https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/

@AltCode said in Forum specific UX for remote categories: > My thinking was that all the remote categories you follow are listed in your /world page That might get a little hairy if you follow a lot of categories. Right now posts from any categories you follow would still show up in your world feed. If you follow a remote category, you would essentially be "tracking" the category, in NodeBB parlance. New topics and posts would show up in your /unread and /recent. If you "watch" the category, then you'll be notified of every new topic.

@silverpill@mitra.social it sounds like @fedify@hollo.social was generating one activity for each recipient, which if combined with relatively heavy database calls, would scale quite poorly, even when processed asynchronously. Batching those db calls is always a low hanging fruit in terms of code optimization.
