Seems my testing ground can’t follow sync with group actors/remote categories. I’m assuming the null id is related, but haven’t figured out how to remove it yet (unfollow button just refreshes the page)
Ok! Almost set up with the plugin (though ACP controls are still pending for now). On the dev branch until I get the gui for config done.

Only bug remaining is topics are not federated out by the group correctly. If anyone knows what triggers the category actor to share a post, let me know!
@[email protected] mm actually this also doesn’t happen currently when you manually move a topic to a category.
Your local account boosts it but not the category. That’s a feature I’d like to add to core, please open an issue.
@[email protected] Adding UI for settings today. Will put on github once that’s done (though I can share the core snippet in a bit). It can also work for auto-moving local tagged posts as well.
Should also mention that not every post from remote actors is tagged, so it might not catch everything. Could possibly have it just read any uncategorized posts and move based on users instead? Might be a better workaround for core, but if you have any thoughts let me know @[email protected]

Sounds good. Looking forward to trying it out. If there’s a way to tie the post back to a Group Actor “user” (which are the local NodeBB users that share/boost the content within NodeBB), then you could probably make the algorithm more reliable. I don’t know anything about the internals of NodeBB, though. Just spitballing ideas.
@[email protected] actually once you mentioned that I got a rough version of that working. I’m not sure if reading the audience property is the right move, but we’ll see if it works on my end I guess?
Was a link posted to it? Also I’m noticing that edits don’t seem to fully federate. 🤨
Not a bad idea. Whipped one up that can work on local and remote posts (though they might need to be followed by the category for it to count? Unsure if it’ll work without that). Will report back if it’s an idea worth pursuing in the morning
actually @julian , could you let me if filter:topic.create will happen even for remote posts that federate in? That’s the hook I’m using right now, but wanna make sure it’s not insane
@[email protected] can you share a link to it?
