@AltCode I've moved those topics back to the proper category

@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.

@mapache@hachyderm.io no clue, I was just trying it on my phone during my kids' dinnertime so I can't actually debug

@jsit@social.coop that's fair, it's late! As an advocate of long form content on the open social web I'd love to chat about it. There might be some things we can learn!

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net Right, there's a possible social engineering vector at play here, which I think makes this a little concerning. I certainly don't like my time wasted either cc @thisismissem@hachyderm.io @mariusor@metalhead.club

@eeeee it is likely due to audience. So, what happens on your end is you make a topic and mention the Lemmy community. When NodeBB federates that post out, the Lemmy community is included in the mentions, but it also specifies your category 18, World Chat, in audience. If Lemmy sees that, and it doesn't know about that community already, it will drop the activity immediately. If it does, then it will likely slot the post into the "World Chat on isurg.com" community on that Lemmy instance. Lemmy removed audience checking, so this might be a non-issue. Once that Lemmy instance updates to the latest version, it'll hopefully post to the correct community. That's a tricky one, though, because which community should it post to? "Medicine" on mander.xyz, or "World Chat" on isurg.com?

@shoppingtonz@mastodon.social if edits from PieFed aren't reflected here that may be a bug.
