ska I added some logic changes to better handle the locks... can you update to the latest version on the develop branch, and run NodeBB using ./nodebb dev?

ska ok great news thank you!

[ska@community.nodebb.org]

julian Just for completeness: some old Wordpress posts still aren't working. It's still better than before because, for example, the more recent ones are now visible, but it still seems worse to me than it was before v4.5.0.

I'm still on the dev branch and almost all of them work, but not all. For example:

https://www.lealternative.net/2020/10/13/giocare-a-tron-online
https://www.lealternative.net/2020/03/25/alternative-ad-android/
https://www.lealternative.net/2023/02/24/native-alpha/

These don't work.

In the logs, only the GET request is visible, but without the response.

Most of those that didn't work before now do, such as: https://www.lealternative.net/2025/09/10/abbiamo-provato-la-vpn-a-pagamento-di-duckduckgo/

Also, all Mastodon posts now seem to work, whereas many had problems before.

Confirming at this time that at least the first URL shared does not get pulled in. Debugging.

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

ska can you please check that those three posts are actually federated outwards?

The human-readable URLs don't contain the expected Link header to the ActivityPub resource.

e.g.

link: ; rel="friends-base-url"
link: ; rel="https://api.w.org/"
link: ; rel="alternate"; title="JSON"; type="application/json"
link: ; rel=shortlink

It does contain the shortlink, which I tried to pull with the appropriate Accept header, but was sent HTML in response.

Perhaps there is a toggle you can press to enable federation on those posts?

[ska@community.nodebb.org]

julian Oh, you're right. I never did it manually and they must have defederated for some reason.

Sorry, but I absolutely hadn't noticed this, so I'd say the problem with NodeBB is solved then :)
