Hey @patrickemin, thanks for trying out the plugin and I’m glad it’s working for you, and that it makes sense. That’s nice to hear
Yes, this is expected behaviour. We don’t auto-publish posts on approval. As @Jagster notes, you can use the activity pub topic actions to manually publish a topic and its posts after approval. We may add a setting to auto-publish posts after approval. Some folks may still want to do that manually as people use the approval queue for different reasons.
Yes, this is also expected. When a post is federated, the “actor” that controls it is the actor that federated it. You won’t be able to delete it using your mastodon account. You need to delete it on Discourse itself. We then tell mastodon to delete it there too.
