I thought that if I entered a Fediverse address here, like '@FrankM@nrw.social,' it would follow that user, and their posts would then appear in the corresponding category.

But that's not happening. There's also no meaningful error message. The actor you see in the image probably appears because I entered an incorrect address.

Does this feature need to be enabled on the Fediverse instance 'nrw.social'?

Who can help?

Looking through my logs it seems that NodeBB doesn't have any defined User Agent for it's ActivityPub requests.

Mastodon has Mastodon/<version> (athing; +https://<websitehere>) Friendica has Friendica/<version> +https://<website>

And many more other federated software have similar things. But when looking through my web request logs I'm not seeing any specific User Agent for NodeBB forums. The only one in fact that I've found which might be NodeBB is node-fetch.

I'm asking simply because I have a tool that monitors specifically for ActivityPub requests from various clients. And I'd like to be able to track NodeBB ActivityPub requests as well, but I'm not seeing how at the moment.

Will this work?
