Is this implemented currently? One weakness I have noticed in NodeBB's current federation is that posts which are in reply to a topic (e.g. a Lemmy comment) show up as individual threads until (or if) the root post of that topic shows up in the local NodeBB. It's a bit confusing of a UX, I think. Because you think:
1. (Before root post) Why is this a post that seems to be just a random comment?
2. (After root post) Why did that other thread disappear and why am I seeing the same comment again?

Automatic category/community assignment on received objectI still think it would be good to update the synchronization function in admin settings to automatically slot any synced community/category into the local category, even if the sync only goes one way (e.g. with Lemmy not being able to remote follow category actors).
