Setting “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” not respected

    Hi everyone! I’ve been using the ActivityPub plugin to great effect for months, but have noticed a small annoyance: users who comment by replying to blog posts on Mastodon always have to be manually approved, irrespective of having previous approved comments.

    I have the setting “Comment author must have a previously approved comment to appear” checked in the Comments settings section, and therefore the expected behavior is to have repeat commenters to have their comments automatically approved.

    Might I have some other setting wrong? Thank you very much for your help!

    Hey @brucknerite ??

    the “previously approved comment” checks, as the name says, for a previously approved comment based on the Name and the E-Mail Address, and because ActivityPub does not provide an E-Mail, this does not work out of the box. I will see if we can extend the code to also check for Name and URL.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    This is now implemented in the latest version ??
