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.
@atomicpoet @nodebb BBS FOREVER

@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.

@julian 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.

@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!

@julian Nice addition! (replying from a mastodon instance)
