@zephyr99 once you git clone the repo, you can just execute git reset --hard v4.7.1 to manually go back to that specific version.

You’re not wrong, and so I think the future of this is meant to be opt-in rather than opt-out. Realistically what a two-way opt-in looks like would be:

1. A topic is created
2. A cross-post request comes in
3. OP (or mod) approves or rejects
4. Topic is cross-posted.

However that in general introduces a significant amount of overhead and mental burden that would disincentivise usage of cross-posting.

I’m not sure what the answer is.

I used to be very bullish on the idea that cross-posting would solve so many problems via inteconnection, but there are some very significant social concerns that would absolutely taint the very idea.

So, we tread carefully.

@myboss you are able to restrict access (viewing, posting, etc.) from categories via the ACP > Manage > Privileges page. Just use the dropdown to select the category to modify.

@myboss hello! Yes, I’m Chinese, although I moved to Canada when I was 4, so I do not speak much Chinese anymore 🙂

The restrictions on Chinese character search is due to datavase limitations, but meilisearch should bridge that gap…

… but but but he did the Kessel run in 12 parsecs or something maaaaan

@KirillJsx @zephyr99 hmm yes I agree documentation could be improved.

We’re looking for technical writers to contribute 😊 it’s hard for technical devs to know what or how to write about.

It reaches out it reaches out it reaches out it reaches out — One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers and it reaches out

Let’s hope so! 🤞

@[email protected] subscribing to the category means new topics will be delivered to the follower.

The manual search is just for manually backfilling posts.

@[email protected] from Mastodon you can manually “pull in” posts by searching for the post URL (not the topic)

Paging @[email protected] … come in @[email protected] 😁

@Flohack might be the view users privilege needs to be on otherwise other services can’t resolve the authoring user and drop the activity…

I wasn’t able to mention your account on the UBports forum. So that’s why I think the view users privilege might be the issue.

@Flohack hi! Sounds like the forum is an upgrade and not a new installation, so activitypub is probably not enabled by default.

It does sound like you figured that out. So can you please send me a screenshot of the privileges page for that category?

Also perhaps you need to grant the view users privilege in global privs.

@omega nice! I shall give it a try… Wonder how well it works with federation

@omega setting up Anubis is probably going to be the only path forward (especially if you don’t want to use CF built in tooling.)

You want to let search crawlers through but stop AI crawlers. It’s a tough game of cat and mouse.

JonathanRDD what the heck… did your account get compromised… that reply has nothing to do with the topic and reads like AI.

jlgourley everything is handled on Transifex, so I’d just go ahead and start translating!

Kadir-Ay-0 not really, no. What are you trying to achieve with limiting the number of sessions?

The Discourse ActivityPub plugin is developed by a sole developer but I believe it is ready for use. I also believe he is still working on the plugin so that’s positive news.

Federation with Discourse forums is tricky, it’s been difficult getting NodeBB to work reliably with Discourse.

Are you able to load Discourse categories in Lemmy?
