@julian yes I never expected it so function on Mastodon, of course not.
but when putting that symbol combination into Mastodon post, and sending it to nodebb you would think it would trigger nodebb side.
Actally its hard to understand how it doesnt activate spoiler on nodebb side, given its the same 2 characters.
Im more perplexed, than bothered, that it doesnt!

How to put hidden 'spoiler' text in a postIn Federated messages, the !> doesnt work even between nodebb instances that have the plugin.
Not a big issue but its actually interesting that it doesnt work.
For example here a mastodon site sends that code in a post to a nobebb site that has spoilers installed,
when it displays the post why isnt the Functionality triggered?

Updates to the world pageThis looks good.
Just my thoughts on Lemmy, I have various issues with it not federating well to various site at times. I mention this only if you encounter testing issues with Lemmy, more likely the issue is their side.
It has some good features but its frustrating as the instance I use appears to have bugs! -

Live testing of remote categories@julian can you be specific in how to track it?

v4.0.0 Upgrade SupportCSS - dont get me started - the industry has been going in the wrong direction with this for the last 15 years. I wont bore you with my thoughts on this here, but its incredibly painful to get web pages to look ideal on all devices.
On a more constructive note, although most of us here will probably access nodebb from a computer, its important to remember 90%+ plus of users will access a forum from a phone.
Controversial as this is, if desktop nodebb was exactly mobile nodebb (i.e. in a narrow window) it may help its long term development. Shocking as that might sound, look at Telegram on web, its exactly mobile view, in a narrow pc window.
The point is, then the focus would be on optimising the mobile view, without splitting development efforts. At present the mobile view isnt as strong as the pc UI, and you cant do some Admin changes from it. Like setting up widgets as Ive previously posted about -
v4.0.0 Upgrade SupportWhich model iphone are you using which has the issue?
I tried it on iphone 15

v4.0.0 Upgrade SupportI had tried the alpha and now have to go back to normal upgrade route.
aftergit fetch
it said Fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
whats going on here?
On another point, upgrading can be a hassle. It in theory, could something be coded so an admin could upgrade from the ACP?

Reconciling ActivityPub Deletes with NodeBB deletionJust my thought, but the whole Delete then Purge has always irritated me.
Delete should just be Delete.
If a Mod wants to temporarily hide something they could move post, or delete and keep a copy.
The only thing Delete then Purge does is add extra step to removing something!
