NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
-
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. -
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.
I agree! Since you mentioned reddit: Weren’t lemmy and kbin also supposed to be federated forums for the fediverse? -

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.

@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

Typically you copy the URL of the original post and paste that URL into your own instance’s search bar
Did that not work?
this is how I did it and it worked

Congratulations, this is very exciting! Your "World" feed is very close to what I had suggested back in 2023 for Calckey, and it shows how flexible the fediverse can be - it's a different way to read your fedi content, instead of the usual microblogging style! Very cool

D**n. I wish BeerAdvocate wasn’t stuck with XenForo. But also congrats!
