Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Lemmy (still) doesn't support pinning by non-local mods: I just tried for feddit.nl (which is on 0.19.10), and it rejects the activity (the specific error is 400: {"error":"couldnt_find_community"} but that's not really relevant 'cos the community is plenty findable from the activity)

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the details.

At some point it also didn't kept posts made by non local users, but this has been solved since

[โ€“] flamingos@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Was this with a Piefed account? Because I was able to pin a post in !herfriend@sappho.social with my feddit.uk account just fine.

[โ€“] freamon@preferred.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was yeah. It's what I happened to have on me at the time, but the activity sent will just have been a copy of what Lemmy sends, so I thought it would apply the same. The activity was:

{
"id": "https://pythag.net/activities/add/zPnR48IYPc7MUUX", 
"type": "Add", 
"actor": "https://pythag.net/u/andrew",
"object": "https://feddit.nl/post/31230016",

}

Hmm, yeah that does look identical to what Lemmy outputs:

{
  "@context": [
    "https://join-lemmy.org/context.json",
    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"
  ],
  "actor": "https://feddit.uk/u/flamingos",
  "to": [
    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"
  ],
  "object": "https://feddit.uk/post/15520058",
  "target": "https://sappho.social/c/herfriend/featured",
  "cc": [
    "https://sappho.social/c/herfriend"
  ],
  "type": "Add",
  "id": "https://feddit.uk/activities/add/844d6269-467e-45cc-81ef-e1677c547d5d",
  "audience": "https://sappho.social/c/herfriend"
}

Is it that the communities locked? I can't imagine that's why, but I'll test it.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you want an example, !buyeuropean@feddit.uk doesn't show up the pinned posts pinned yesterday: https://feddit.nl/c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

[โ€“] flamingos@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That's something different as it was a local mod that featured those posts. I'm trying to pinpoint the couldnt_find_community error, as I'm genuinely at a loss for what might be causing it, but it's not that the communities is locked.

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, good point!

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see you just reposted it, let's wait 24h, I've noticed the posts would get unpinned after that long for some reason

[โ€“] flamingos@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

It might be because Lemmy doesn't write featured posts from remote mods into the mod_feature_post table. IDK, we'll see if this post stays featured and if not, I'll try to track down what's causing it. I've definitely noticed weirdness with it before (here).

[โ€“] inlandempire@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have this issue with !esports@lemmy.zip and I've never been able to fix it haha (tried pinning and unpinning with both @InEm@lemmy.zip and this account)

[โ€“] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It seems like version 0.19.9 or 0.19.10 fixed it. Lemmy.zip updated recently, maybe try once more? If it still doesn't work, maybe try to recreate the post from your lemmy.zip account rather than jlai.lu, maybe that can help as well
