@angus This also happened [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/transfer-topics-between-forums/363758/1). Is there a way to fix this, or is it not possible to specify the category when making the post via ActivityPub (to my understanding, this is [Discourse (@Discourse@mastodon.social) - Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@Discourse)), I think?  
Perhaps a setting that would move topics created by ActivityPub into a specified category?
