I get your dilema about should it post in world or in medicine@mander.xyz So if I want it to go in mander@xyz how to specify that?

@eeeee You wait for me to overhaul the entire /world & category UX so that you can "browse" to @medicine@mander.xyz from your NodeBB itself.
:soon: I have no idea when that will come.
I still cant post into a community on Lemmy from a nodebb instance. Ive had more tries and looked at other posts from other sites, which are going in. It seems they are directed in there somehow, not just by mentioning the group in the post. @julian did you get any idea on this?
Heres an example of a nodebb post that went nowhere! https://isurg.org/topic/124/pancreatic-pseudocyst
@eeeee it is likely due to audience.
So, what happens on your end is you make a topic and mention the Lemmy community.
When NodeBB federates that post out, the Lemmy community is included in the mentions, but it also specifies your category 18, World Chat, in audience.
If Lemmy sees that, and it doesn't know about that community already, it will drop the activity immediately. If it does, then it will likely slot the post into the "World Chat on isurg.com" community on that Lemmy instance.
Lemmy removed audience checking, so this might be a non-issue. Once that Lemmy instance updates to the latest version, it'll hopefully post to the correct community.
That's a tricky one, though, because which community should it post to?
- "Medicine" on mander.xyz, or
- "World Chat" on isurg.com?
That sounds good :)
