NodeBB v4.9.0 — A Whole New /world!

Before, you were seeing the same topics (more or less, I think the logic changed a little bit) but in a "topic list" style — like you were navigating into just another category.

While that worked fine, the vast majority of content was microblog content that did not come with a title, so one needed to be generated.

A topic listing with many many long titles (some of which don't function well as titles) does not a good topic list make

@julian Very successful improvement.
Keep surprising

Thank you @julian @baris and the rest from the team

Right that's kinda of how I remember it.

I see I see... so now I see two topics listed with the new preview box style in what really is /world becasue that is all my user acc has interacted with I guess, so that would be more like /myworld but that is not really correct either is it.

I also see that activity pub looks more like how you described previous implementation of /world and as I remember. I honestly do not know if I am correct on this point.

So what is my point?

I am not sure yet! <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f4ab.png?v=3063414e499" title="" />

@omega I think in your case, because you are not following any remote accounts, your /world feed would be empty. I really wonder what you are seeing <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://community.nodebb.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f613.png?v=3063414e499" title="" />

I should add some redirect in there so that it automatically updates the sorting to popular, which is not limited to your followers.

Unfortunately I'm still having issues in this forum. Latest still shows what seems like all posts this server receives, instead of my follows:

Also, when I try to search for my account on another server, it shows my account on nodebb instead:

@panos Understood, the user searching issue is still outstanding, but the workaround for now is to not put a domain in. Searching panos or panos@ should still show your related remote accounts. Not the best workaround, I know.

As for the former issue, are you not following lashman?

@julian ah, "panos@" worked. Cool, as long as it's a known issue. As for your question, no, I follow very few people, and I get new posts all the time, it's literally like the "global" timeline in other platforms. It's been like this for months now, and in practice it means that it doesn't make any difference if I follow someone or not, I'll still get every post from everyone.

@panos okay, it turns out your account (and like 5 others, me included) had started "tracking" the /world category, which didn't really make sense. I removed that option awhile back, but the setting probably stayed behind.

I've cleared that setting and manually flushed your inbox now, so you should see a more sane /world page going forward.
