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?

Replying from a Lemmy instance, via Thunder. Hello!

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

We need more forums again!

How does federation work? Do you subscribe to a community or something and it appears as a forum subsection? Likewise how do you post to a community, magazine, whatever mastodon has etc?

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

[–] julian@activitypub.space 7 points 4 hours ago

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

i still can't get over how cool federation is

[–] UnfinishedProjects@piefed.zip 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] emb@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

USEnet would like a word.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Some forums still exist, actually.

[–] emb@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, there are some I still follow. Love to see that they're still kicking, here and there.

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

[–] CodandChips@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

Test?.... TEST!

Hello from piefed! Cool project

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

[–] julian@activitypub.space 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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!

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

@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 :)

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 6 hours ago

Traditional, old school forums.

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

[–] Az_1@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago

Works for me

Hi from ... something

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 3 points 7 hours ago

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