Not a bad idea. Whipped one up that can work on local and remote posts (though they might need to be followed by the category for it to count? Unsure if it'll work without that). Will report back if it's an idea worth pursuing in the morning

actually @julian , could you let me if filter:topic.create will happen even for remote posts that federate in? That's the hook I'm using right now, but wanna make sure it's not insane

@julian

Got it! Restored my database last night, but yeah it seems even a re-follow didn't get much to my category actor (outside of manually federating a share from my old mastodon)

Oh wait, I just realized I never shared the webfinger for the actor. mentioned below @[email protected]

@julian Thanks! Accidentally reset my database, but I was in the midst of trying the following group actors:

[email protected] [email protected]

these two were my big tests, @[email protected] didn't seem to work too, but I forgot to re-test it after I manually took the null follow out from the database.

Should also note that the first two managed to show up in my original /world when following from my admin account, so I'm fairly sure posts were federating in properly to that

@FrankM Running into the same problem on my end (2 days and it seems my follow is stuck). Did you try to follow a non-group account when you got the 'null' actor on your list too? I get the feeling it's related to our endless pending on lemmy communities and such
