Learning how nodeBB works and have a working instance up. However, trying to follow Lemmy communities to test, or pulling in anything via federation, doesn't seem to work for me. Nothing in logs to suggest anything related to the action of adding/removing group actors from the subscribe list is actually happening. Federation is enabled in settings, canonical URL is correct.
Wondering if it's something obvious I'm missing.

@incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net hmmm, can you send me your instance for me to take a look at?
Do you have a proper
urlset inconfig.json? -

@julian Currently testing at https://board.circlewithadot.net
I have a similar error when trying to subscribe to one of your groups from ActivitySpace.pub, shown in the image.
The logs stay silent if I observe them while I remove/add these, but I'd assume that *something* should show?
config.json is set properly, seeing "info:
Canonical URL: https://board.circlewithadot.net" in logs and if I cat out the current config.json from the container I get ""url": "https://board.circlewithadot.net""

@julian One more bit of the puzzle. If I try to follow my account from masto, it's stuck in pending.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with federation via my reverse proxy for nodebb now (an issue I've had with masto when I first learned it) and not nodeBB actually. I would think logs would hint at this though.
Going to keep diving.

@incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net your forum does seem to be responding ok, but perhaps ActivityPub requests aren't making it in due to proxy or security settings (as you surmised)
If you can't follow anyone and nobody can follow you that does seem to be the case.
I'm assuming if you paste an URL into the search it works ok to pull in content?

@julian I think I resolved the issue partially. When I initially setup nodebb, the canonical url was set to http instead of https, I didn't change that until *after* my initial attempts to federate with my own Mastodon, ActivityPub.space and lemmy communities. http format was still in my Mastodon cache, so there was a mismatch when subsequent attempts were made.
Clearing the cache for my board from mastodon allowed me to follow my nodebb account from my Mastodon account successfully.

@incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net that's great to hear!
I am not sure if that will fix issues with your category follows though. Hopefully!
Let meet know
@incentive@board.circlewithadot.net if you run into any additional trouble.

@julian@activitypub.space Unfortunately only some functionality seems to exist, but I'm still having issues subscribing to group actors in categories- both Lemmy and nodeBB.
Using
technical-discussion@activitypub.spaceas an example, I'm to addhttps://activitypub.space/category/5as shown in my screenshot?And if it is a Lemmy community, I would add
https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse(for example)?I'm writing this message to you just fine from my NodeBB instance however, and I see it's going over to activitypub.space just fine. Stumped.

@julian@activitypub.space Got everything figured out! There were some permissions issues that needed sorted out on the host machine, and I rebuilt nodebb to ensure everything wrote to the container space with proper permissions and successfully. Looks like federation is working just fine on my board now!
