@CWSmith your user resolves with the URL https://community.darkscribes.com/user/cwsmith ... but the ActivityPub response identifies it as https://communuty.darkscribes.com/uid/1, which is not the correct URL. Please update config.json's url so the typo is fixed and test again

@mariusor@metalhead.club do you have a database abstraction layer? That's what we do in order to support multiple data stores

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.

@scott@loves.tech I have an OpenID login! I remember being terribly confused by it, and how to use it, and I think to this day it's only use is to log me into StackExchange

@beaware@social.beaware.live blame alarmists from the fediverse for that opt-in.

@squinky@teh.entar.net hmm, you should be able to, given it's an unauthenticated resource... But then again maybe some sites require a signed request.

@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
