I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

!Friendica Support Hi all. I created a forum user (closed signup) to try the feature out. It seems to work fine directly via Friendica, but stuff posted to it isn't federating to the couple of Mastodon accounts I used to sign up to it with. It's happy to accept posts from those accounts, and responses federate back to Mastodon, but the Mastodon accounts aren't seeing other posts sent to the forum.

Viewing the profile for the forum on mastodon.social shows no activity.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

@Michael Vogel Ah! So if I change it to public, it will federate properly?

@Michael Vogel Except I can't, because when I switch to the forum account and select "settings", it does this:

I'm guessing it isn't meant to do that.

@Michael Vogel I set it up from my main account, then created a delegation to my main account too.

Curiously, when I go to the account switcher, if appears twice.

@Michael Vogel Further update: if I try logging in to the forum account directly, after doing a password reset, it works.

But I can’t set the parent account to this one. It just says “no parent user” and doesn’t let me change it.

I set delegation to this account, but still get the error if I try to edit settings through the account switcher.

@Michael Vogel I deleted the delegation, but now I can only access it via direct login. It seems to have become completely unlinked from this account.

@Michael Vogel oh well. It’s federating now. Thanks for your help 😊
