NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
-
Bulletin boards (a.k.a., “forums”) have never gone away. Actually, they’re more popular than ever.
Reddit, for example, is basically a giant bulletin board.
Facebook Groups are forums – bolted onto Facebook itself – and probably a major reason people still use Facebook.
Numerous help desk software, such as Zendesk, use bulletin boards as a major selling point of their platform.
And the reason why @nodebb@fosstodon.org federating is such a big deal is because a major request many people have regarding the #Fediverse is bulletin board capabilities. This now exists with NodeBB 4.0.0 – which was just released today.

@julian@community.nodebb.org Congrats, and thanks to you and NodeBB for doing the work -- and NLNet for the funding! It's really exciting to see ... and timely, too!

Testing a reply! By the way, the post is nicely formatted on Mastodon! -

Wonderful news! Congratulations! 🥳 -
although I am very excited about federation, due to my burnout and financial situation I haven't been able to pursue this feature and we dropped it from our NLnet grant. I'm hoping to dive into it again as part of a future 2.x release. -

I agree! Since you mentioned reddit: Weren’t lemmy and kbin also supposed to be federated forums for the fediverse? -

Cool!

Never heard of NodeBB before, but glad it’s around! The more the merrier on the fediverse
Seems like NodeBB stole discourse’s thunder and have proper activitypub integration now. -

@atomicpoet @nodebb I agree! Since you mentioned reddit: Weren’t lemmy and kbin also supposed to be federated forums for the fediverse?
@felwert@fedihum.org if we’re splitting hairs, I’d actually argue that Reddit, Lemmy, PieFed, and mBin are actually link aggregators.

It's great. I saw first a link to your website and I could not reply from my Mastodon account. I had to find the post through Mastodon itself.Maybe in the future you could add the possibility to reply from mastodon account.

Maybe in the future you could add the possibility to reply from mastodon account.
@fedihacker@masto.es if you copy the topic url directly, it won’t show up yet.
You’ll have to use the directly post link (in the timestamp), e.g. https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756
I’ll look into making this a bit more seamless

Welcome! and hello from hubzilla!

congratulations! -
Nice addition! (replying from a mastodon instance)
