Ok, we have enabled the plugin in our instance, we have created an actor connected to a tag, and we have federated our first post to the Fediverse. Very exciting! And impressive.
Some questions (that might be suggestions for missing features, but I’m still trying to understand what is available):
As a Discourse user seeing the federated topic, is there a way to obtain a link to the corresponding toot (message) on Mastodon, for easy boost there? I couldn’t find it in the small log added to the topic:
As a Mastodon user seeing a toot coming from Discourse, is there an easy way to find the Mastodon account of the actor to follow? They can see the account of the poster, but not the actor’s. If they follow the link to the forum, I couldn’t find a way to deduce how to find the actor.
Why is the plugin boosting all the replies, instead of letting them be just replies, typical “quiet public” replies? These boosts create a lot of extra noise for those who follow the actor on Mastodon.
What is supposed to happen when a Mastodon user starts a new post (not a reply) and mentions the actor’s account or the account of a Discourse user?
Finally, this doesn’t look normal, and we are getting plenty of them (more than hundred in a few hours)
