Hello, I'm currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I'd appreciate it. :)

[Edit] does anybody know if nodeBB has a way to prevent federated upvotes from contributing to forum member specific reputation points?

Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.

It's a linear view, in case you were wondering

Hello from piefed! Cool project

It's me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!

[–] emb@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!

@emb@lemmy.world I agree. We need to bring back forums.

[–] Az_1@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Works for me

Well, nice to see this post come up. Hello!

@julian@activitypub.space hello! And I must say, thank you for patiently answering all my nodeBB questions lately! You've been a real help :)

Also, thank you for creating this wonderful open source software!

Hello! Replying from an Mbin instance. First time I think I've seen a forum software actually federate out! Curious how it looks on your side

What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 hours ago

Traditional, old school forums.

They've been around forever but just recently become federated software.

@testaccount372920@piefed.zip it's forum software. So I'm building a standalone forum, but am going to have a few categories that connect to the fediverse for communities that complement ours :)

Popped up in (self-hosted) Piefed just fine!

I see it from PieFed.Social. I'd absolutely love it if we got more FV content here, such as NodeBB. :D
