It happened earlier today, but now its ok. .. I will do some more testing to determine when its an issue

Edit: Seems to be working fine. Maybe I was in low signal area when it didnt earlier

Edit: no problem with posted messages showing now

Yea, odd, I made a second account on mysite and that follows and unfollows normally. So its a mystery why my first Admin account is doing it differently. Maybe one day we will figure out whats altering the behaviour

Thanks, I tried unfollowing and following again, but its always the same. On this instance it says following and my one it says 'cancel follow request' although the pop up box said 'You are now follwing etc'

Edit: I tried from an non admin account on my instance, that does the normal follow/unfollow, like here.

So wheres the code that makes it different for admins, as that doesnt make any sense to have it different?

.. in medicine@mander.xyz group nothing arrived There is a post I made earlier (using isurg@lemm.ee) but not this latest one from isurg@nodebb

Ok I tried this as as a root post

It didnt get there. Whereas I can post into that community with my similar named lemm.ee account

Ok, if I can give specific example. I found a community via lemmy which is interesting. @medicine@mander.xyz If I want to post a topic in it, can I make a nodebb post and send it there?

Very complicated all this Fediverse stuff! Far from the dream of having one account for everything, I seemed to need an account on every service to get the whole picture. I have now Nodebb, Mastodon, Lemmy, PixelFed and Peertube! I dont know if Im just not using it properly, or if seeing everything from any one of these site is even possible? @julian how far off is the prospect of using my nodebb account for all Federated chat, is that even achievable in long term?

definitely go with the latest Nodebb, because every release has incremental bug fixes As to Ubuntu again best to take the latest release

People probably get bored of me saying this, but the thing I had most problem with is the email sending (for verifying signups) Which mail service are you planning to use?

^^ everyones missing the big draw to Reddit .. If you google anything, Reddit discussions on the topic come up top. Its like a sponsored link, same as Quora that comes up high (but most people dont like!)

Reddit autogenerates you an Id name, so when you click on that topic you are set up to respond. Ease of use!

ok, working now @phenomlab . Which theme do you use on Sudonix? Your homepage has recent posts which is what I want to show too. I have enabled 'Teasers' but still my home page is mostly the categories, albeit with small teasers with it now

@baris thanks, where is the toggle to turn that on? When I go ACP>appearance>themes there are no options?

@Astro-What , no in this context default is what you get on install, until its changed to something else.

But I want some posts showing on mobile, which Im not getting at the moment. My homepage is just list of categories

If you look at Sudonix for example, it shows posts on homepage.

I have to tell @phenomlab that apart from that plus, Sudonix doesnt work well on mobile (if you dont have dark mode enabled.) I did try and post about that on Sudonix today but couldnt even complete the post as it wouldnt let me select a category from the layers of transparent menus!

Default mobile view for my site is miserable, just shows category headings, no posts. Is there an easy way I can set it to show some recent activity without installing anything?

Thanks @Kichae I hadn't realised that functionality was already there!

I did ask chatgpt, its new super familiar / friendly tone surprised me :ghost:

I think some of the words, make ActivityPub more complicated to understand. Like what is an Actor ? This may be basic to some, but Im still not sure what an Actor is in this context, and why that word was used. Would be grateful if anyone can explain in one line :)
