Categories following Federated Accounts? (community.nodebb.org)

So I was wondering if there was a way for me to have a Category follow a federated account.

I can't seem to find the way to do it if that's possible.

But optimally the category would post a topic related to the new posts the followed account would post. Or something like that.

@julian Are categories supposed to follow regular users from this screen in admin panel. Asking this because I tried putting a mastodon user profile link in the textbox but upon clicking on 'Follow' nothing happened. For threads, the request is pending(with some error, I guess) as you can see from the picture.

@bh4-tech can you supply the URLs you tried to follow please?

@julian https://www.threads.net/@khabydistas on threads and https://mastodon.social/@dansup on mastodon

@bh4-tech might be not working because I did not expect urls. Can you try a handle like [email protected]?

@julian Yeah that worked for mastodon, but not for threads. Guess that's some problem on thread's side and not nodebb.

However, the remote media preview problem still remains https://community.nodebb.org/post/103782 . Guess you will need to cache remote media like misskey.
