Yes, I could help with administration. Thanks!

@trwnh Have you figured out how to change the federation settings for categories and topics?

It looks like in the AP plugin’s admin panel, I can create “category actors” and “tag actors”. There are a lot of category actors currently, and there is 1 tag actor for federated.

For managing federation settings, I’d suggest the following:

Let me know which categories need federation enabled. I think this can be done by creating a category actor for each category that needs it.

Let me know which topics need federation enabled. It looks like I can “Publish all posts” (which I think creates AP resources for them but doesn’t deliver those to followers of the category actor?) and then separately I can “Publish Post #1” (which looks like it does deliver it to the followers of the category actor). But I think that has to be done individually for each topic, since I don’t see a way to batch perform actions or query for threads which are not yet published. Also it seems that publishing in this way does not preserve the original posting date in the AP resource? I tried testing “Publish all posts” on a really old thread and in browser.pub it looks like they were all published 2026-06-20 instead of the original dates.

If you enable 2FA I think I can grant you admin and you can make the desired changes yourself.

  Software - SocialHub subcategories. For example, Mastodon subcategory: Mastodon - SocialHub

  Could you try to publish this one? FEP-8b32: Object Integrity Proofs

  That worked, I can access all posts in the thread.
  
  To fix the timestamps, we can try contacting @pmusaraj, the current maintainer of the plugin.

    I see you already did that, thanks!
