First, thanks for the great plugin and I cannot wait that this gets more features!

This really should have some kind of whole forum actor. There were some discussion about this on the first posts but it seems that this has not been done yet.

It is nice to have different category/tag actors so you could spesify what you follow. But it would be great that you could make a “forum” actor that shows all public topics.

For example I could follow `@pelittaa@pelittaa.fi` actor and get all public posts.

There was already a feature request for following individual users and that would be a great addition also since now when I try to follow user using Mastodon it apparently sends follow request that never gets answered.

> The way category actors behave and how they relay a forum user’s post is well-known, and there isn’t anything resembling a bug in that. However, I would like ideas on how this situation would be handled in a real environment with real Mastodon users. Discourse’s way of transferring topics has caused confusion several times now. I’ve received inquiries about why their follow request hasn’t been accepted. Normally, in Mastodon, boosting or resharing appears like this.
