NodeBB v4.0.0 — Federate good times, come on!
-
@julian
Upgrading to 4.02 tonight. Let's see how it federates. Congrats and thank you for your work. -
@julian I’ve been unable to get AP following to work in either direction. I mean it is sometimes possible to follow somebody and get followed by other sites, but no actual posts ever come into or out of my nodebb instance (forum.n66.pl). The only thing that works is importing posts directly by entering their URL in the search area, which is also temperamental – sometimes the same post can be imported and sometimes it can’t. I also tried following people from individual categories. It never worked except for one instance where it seems to have been stuck with a “pending” message, but I have no way of accepting or rejecting the follow request on the other side (it should be accepted automatically). Sometimes the same happens when entering followed people’s URLs in the search panel. Looking forward to fixes.

@julian It is interesting to see long form content in the Fediverse. I'm still not used to it.
Pretty cool.
-
@julian haha now that reposting from fedi instances is possible, maybe you need to collapse the "... shared this topic N minutes ago", by default in the UI
@wall_e@ioc.exchange This is done now, consecutive shares are merged.

@julian So... I wonder if NodeBB is/can be a Fediverse instance now basically? Meaning, can registered users interact with other Fediverse instances?
I'm considering building a special interest community with NodeBB as a base. But some might want to create and/or embed media content and I'm thinking of using own PeerTube, Pixelfed instances for example for this purpose. Would a NodeBB user be able to interact with them? And can I gate areas from being public? Because of NSFW content.

@willi@social.tchncs.de yes to all, NodeBB is a fediverse instance now

@julian That's great! Any tips starting this as cheap as possible and with least amount of caring work? I've read so far you need VPS which is not only costly(?) but also backup etc would be in my hands, right? Would like to avoid that tbh.
@willi@social.tchncs.de a VPS can be had from DigitalOcean or Vultr quite economically (although I know that isn’t always the case in some countries)
