@activitypub Hey, thanks for the awesome ActivityPub support!

It has been working great so far on our forum at fbrc.nodebb.com, with two exceptions. I don't know if these are bugs or if they fall in NodeBB scope or not, figured I'd report them here:

  1. Alt text not transferring to Mastodon. This post has alt text in NodeBB (I think), it's not showing up when viewed via Mastodon web UI: https://community.nodebb.org/category/30/activitypub

@activitypub Seems like there is already a recent bug filed for the PeerTube issue: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13120

The AP from NodeBB is missing the 'name' field for images (where alt-text is put). If you inspect that first image in a web browser, the alt-text reads "Pic of a flow battery development kit ...", but for the relevant AP, compare NodeBB with a random image on pixelfed:

curl -L -H 'accept: application/activity+json' https://fbrc.nodebb.com/post/8 | jq .attachment[0]

vs.

curl -L -H 'accept: application/activity+json' https://pixelfed.de/p/tercean/364 | jq .attachment[0]

Additional thanks for the ActivityPub support! I've been following this community from Lemmy now that it's federated. Pretty cool seeing everything work nicely together 🥳

2. I was trying to "import" a PeerTube video into the forum by pasting the link into the search bar, to pull it into our general discussion category, but it doesn't find it. Posting the same link into a Mastodon web UI pulls up the video (URL: https://spectra.video/w/6BddEiwBqRMHSbC9qBLBz9)
