Which seems to be coming from here. Why would `moderating_groups` be missing as a method on the `activity_pub_taxonomy` object?
```rb
group_ids.push(*activity_pub_topic.activity_pub_taxonomy.moderating_groups.pluck(:id))
```
Thanks in advance! The work you’ve been here is amazing, and can’t wait to have it working in our forum and syndicate updates with it.

The “stable” releases are named “stable” in the sense of “not changing” and are not generally recommended if you are making changes like introducing new plugins. New plugin development generally is free to follow current development versions. New “stable” releases are done only a few times per year, and that would be handcuffs for work like this.
I do wish at this point that CDCK would drop the “beta” moniker from their rolling releases because it really isn’t a great description. It keeps introducing confusion like this, and creates mismatched expectations. But 3.4.0-beta is almost certainly what you’ll want to work with this plugin at least at this time.

Hello, does the ActivityPub plugin support adding Threads users? I tried adding a Threads user, but it seems I can’t locate them. Thank you for your help!

Hello @joo,
While any ActivityPub implementation that follows the ActivityPub spec should work out of the box, I haven’t attempted to add explicit Threads support yet as the last time I checked I wasn’t able to access ActivityPub in Threads (i.e. on my own Meta accounts), or find any documentation on it outside of some help articles and blog posts. As soon as it’s possible to get some insight into how it’s set up, I’ll be looking at adding some explicit support for Threads.

AFAIK is should be available everywhere except in EU. A threads-user must allow federation first, though.

Is there any (easy) way to purge everything that is related to the plugin? Mine is quite a mess right now.
I tried the plugin something like 9 months ago, but then there was something, can’t remember what, and I disabled it.
Now I gave it a new try, but it looks like it is stuck in the past. Every Mastodon server gets a 403 error from the forum. Instances can’t find my actors, and therefore any topics aren’t sent further.
I can’t follow Meta. I see pending status, but when I change pages, the follows list is empty. The same thing happens with Mastodon users. It finds them, shows pending, but the list is empty again when I go somewhere else.
I have three Mastodon users who can find my actors, and all of them are accounts I used for testing nine months ago. But even that isn’t working nicely.
Two of those were from my self-hosted instance. That server is destroyed (because of a horrible experience with a Mastodon upgrade that went terribly wrong). When I try to delete those two, they disappear from the follow list, but if I change pages, they’re back there.
That third one can find and follow my actors, but it never shows up in the follow list. It’s a ghost. And it doesn’t get topics; it just follows.
All of my setups are pure standard.
At the moment, I don’t know any other solution than to clean up every bit about the plugin and ActivePub. But that requires working with the database, right?

Hey @Jagster.
There isn’t any reason to purge your data. The plugin’s underlying data structure has not changed since it was launched. When it has changed, data is migrated appropriately. Let’s figure out what’s wrong instead.
Could you start by sharing a link to your forum. Perhaps send it to me a chat here on meta. I’m sure we can straighten things out 🙂

Even I have different type servers/services in use, my knowledge and point of view is strongly on level end user. And then solutions like total destruction feels very logical 😂
Public forum, so I can put it here. And because it is pure Finnish it can’t counted as an ad… This leads directly to one category where ActivePub is in use: [Ihminen, luonto & maailma - Katiskan foorumi](https://foorumi.katiska.eu/c/ihmiselama/32/none)
OT, but has category links always had `../none` 🤔

I’m a bit confused again. The context is from my forum to Mastodon — even this might be more general thing.
A category federates and visibility is public. But it is unlisted on Mastodon — that the open padlock means, right? The icon should be the globe indicating public visibility. Sure, unlisted is public too, kind of.
What is the reason for unlisting?

A quick question for clarity…
### What happens when you move a post to a new ActivityPub-enabled topic?
I find the process of
1. replying to a topic with a long post in a private category
2. integrate others’ feedback there
3. split post into a new topic in a public category
a suitable alternative for Drafts, when it just happens in the conversation. But then, the moved post has a timestamp in the past, which makes me worried that the ActivityPub won’t pick it up when it is moved to an ActivityPub-enabled category.

I was sure I had addressed this, but nothing is really addressed until it has a spec! It’ll be addressed when this is merged.

I’ve enumerated all the main permutations of post moving in the spec.
```plaintext
Topic
move_posts
with posts in an ap category
with first_post enabled
when moved to an existing non-ap topic
moves the posts
updates the note references
does not create new objects or activities
when moved to an existing first_post topic
updates the note references
moves the posts
does not create new objects or activities
when moved to a new non-ap topic
moves the posts
updates the note references
does not create new objects or activities
when moved to a new first_post topic
does not create new objects or activities
does not create a collection for the new topic
moves the posts
updates the note references
with full_topic enabled
when moved to an existing full_topic topic
does not create new collections, objects or activities
moves the posts
updates the note references
when moved to a new non-ap topic
updates the note references
moves the posts
does not create new collections, objects or activities
when moved to a new full_topic topic
updates the note references
does not create new objects or activities
creates a collection for the new topic
moves the posts
when moved to an existing non-ap topic
moves the posts
updates the note references
does not create new collections, objects or activities
with posts in a non ap category
when moved to an existing full_topic topic
does not create new collections, objects or activities
moves the posts
when moved to a new first_post topic
does not create a collection for the new topic
moves the posts
does not create new objects or activities
when moved to an existing first_post topic
does not create new collections, objects or activities
moves the posts
when moved to a new full_topic topic
moves the posts
does not create new objects or activities
creates a collection for the new topic
```
Note that the above applies _mutatis mutandis_ to tag actors. So to answer your specific question: your posts will remain unpublished after you move them, i.e. the status will look like this:
Note that the same is true if you change the category of a topic, i.e. moving an unpublished topic into an AP category (or tag).
In both cases (moving posts or changing the category) you can then manually publish the post(s) using the manual publish feature, albeit this is currently only available for topics associated with a `first post` Actor.
I’ll be adding manually publication of moved or recategorised posts with a `full topic` Actor soon. I want to make sure the main permutations of that feature are considered, which is why it’s not currently possible.

That would be my use-case then:

Hmmm, something’s wrong on [Directions to O₅F₂FDEM - Announcements - OFFDEM](https://oxygen.offdem.net/t/directions-to-o-f-fdem/460), the category is Note/Full Topic, but did not post anything to the Fediverse for a long time. And the ActivityPub icon does not show on the post. Is there a way to kinda reset / SIGHUP the Actor?

Ha! This. Thank you so much @angus, you rock.

Linked actor on a user’s profile doesn’t know how to use Pixelfed. It should be very much same than Mastodon, but sure, there can be some differences.
Pixelfed is growing fast now, thanks for Zuckerberg, so it would be nice if it would be an option at some point.
Same thing with Bookwyrm — there could be some demand connect discussion somewhere else. At some point anyway. But I could see easily demand to connect discussion of books to Discourse. I know — that is basically same than open a category hoping it will generate something 🤷♂️
