some forums that use NodeBB, will be interesting to see if they enable federation

Godot would be nice

Good to see.

In theory, a lot of forum software could bolt ActivityPub on. It should be an interesting time now we have proof of concept.

There is a W3C's SWCG ActivityPub based Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force. The NodeBB forum for it.

@[email protected] Agree, and now you can follow it directly at [email protected]

Edit: My software doesn't support - symbol, but you can follow it at [email protected]

Cool, I was trying to figure out if there was a way to do that.

Agree, Discourse, another forum software also works on ActivityPub support. Also NodeBB seems to federate pretty well with MBin, does it federate fine with Lemmy?

Lemmy grip of death

I'd be surprised. They've actually been federating for months now. Maybe they've seen a rush of signups kicking the tires, and that's expanded the firehose?

Thanks for linking links that work on Lemmy! I'm unsure why mine don't work on it

[–] Die4Ever 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

because you used /m/ instead of /c/, but really the format [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) should be used instead of trying to manually make URLs

I just typed !magazine@instance, it has always worked before, I might create a bug report on GitHub

[–] Die4Ever 7 points 1 day ago

oh you let it autocomplete, check the source of your post

at least on Lemmy, it works better if you don't let it autocomplete... kinda silly, but there's a bug report for that on the Lemmy side, idk about Mbin

their server is down right now, but it did federate with lemmy.ml before going down https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

https://programming.dev/c/[email protected]

also you can read their announcement from their Mastodon profile @[email protected]

edit: it's back up, to see the announcement post in Lemmy format, put this in your Lemmy's search: https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756

it's from [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

but it did federate with lemmy.ml

How unfortunate

Welcome on board I guess?

@[email protected] Agree, they have 15k stars on GitHub, so seems pretty substantial to me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago

Is there a secure way to install it? Or does it use npm?
