Hello all
Today we're releasing NodeBB v4.2.0. Most of the changes pertain to minor updates to our existing ActivityPub integration.

Categories can now follow regular users

v4 launched with the ability for NodeBB to synchronize categories with other "group" type remote accounts. While it was possible to follow regular users, their content did not properly load into the category. This has now been fixed.


Actual handling (not just pretend ✨) of content from Ghost
Added button to view original profile of remote users
Better handling of content for remote chat messages (non-public notes)
Forking and moving posts between topics now announced by the category
Separate chat message length cutoff for remote messages
Improved link handling on remote content
Categories now have a handle in the description; added an additional setting for a remote-only addendum for local categories

The "View Original" button for user profiles is located in the sidebar of any remote user profile:
