@informapirata ah! I realize that there may be a difference in understanding here.

I think when you are asking about moving topics to a remote category, you're intending to also share that discussion to the remote category, yes?

So, for example, you see a good discussion that comes in uncategorized, and you share it with a community on Lemmy.

Yes?

It makes sense, but I am not able to do that from a protocol point of view because there's inadequate federation vocabulary to achieve this.

So I could make movable, but it won't show up on Lemmy or Piefed unless that software supports whatever vocab I come up with.

So it's partly a technical limitation as well.

    In general, moving topics between remote categories is disallowed because it's misrepresentation. You're limited to moving uncategorized topics to a local cid, topics between local cids (of course), and cross-posting topics to local categories.

    There are some gaps in federation, as @informapirata states. I've been actively working toward finding and closing those gaps.

  • > Batel's Gorn DNA infusion, the treatment from the chimera plant, and her earlier encounter with the Vezda are stirred up into a convoluted sci-fi stew to explain all this in a dialogue scene that tries with all its might to use sci-fi-y terminology to convince us this actually makes sense, but mostly just draws attention to what a whopper of an ass-pull it all really is. The overriding sense one gets while watching this is, "Well, they're just making stuff up now and pretending it holds water." It really doesn't. But I have to admit that I respect the commitment to the sheer insanity of the concept, even if the effort and seam-hiding are lacking. In the end, it's basically, "because we said so."

    god bless Jammer.

    > None of this "Universal Star-child" bullshit.

    Bang on. It's the same reason I couldn't stand Discovery. There's a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.

    Fan fic with higher production values.

    I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.

    just to correct something, NodeBB will not send a mention unless you are specifically mentioned. We do auto populate a mention in the text box though, so it's probably happening because of that.

    What we also do is send the message to everybody so everybody has a copy. (Everybody is addressed)

    e.g. you should not have been mentioned here.
