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 :)

I’ve signed up for a Lemmy instance to try that, waiting on approval. Lemmy has a box so you can type in answer to question, e.g. ‘Write a line saying why you want to join this forum’ It would be a useful feature addition if nodeBB had this option built in, or on ACP plugins list, because I am still getting a lot of Spam registrations, and without knowing why someone wants to join its still hard to know who to authorise and who to reject
