some forums that use NodeBB, will be interesting to see if they enable federation

Godot would be nice

Agree, Discourse, another forum software also works on ActivityPub support. Also NodeBB seems to federate pretty well with MBin, does it federate fine with Lemmy?

Good to see.

In theory, a lot of forum software could bolt ActivityPub on. It should be an interesting time now we have proof of concept.

There is a W3C's SWCG ActivityPub based Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force. The NodeBB forum for it.

@Emperor@feddit.uk Agree, and now you can follow it directly at !swicg-threadiverse-wg@community.nodebb.org

Edit: My software doesn't support - symbol, but you can follow it at !swicg-threadiverse-wg@community.nodebb.org

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Cool, I was trying to figure out if there was a way to do that.

Thanks for linking links that work on Lemmy! I'm unsure why mine don't work on it

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

because you used /m/ instead of /c/, but really the format [!communityname@instancename.com](/c/communityname@instancename.com) should be used instead of trying to manually make URLs

I just typed !magazine@instance, it has always worked before, I might create a bug report on GitHub

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

oh you let it autocomplete, check the source of your post

at least on Lemmy, it works better if you don't let it autocomplete... kinda silly, but there's a bug report for that on the Lemmy side, idk about Mbin

Ok, which one of you goobers killed the website?

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 17 points 1 week ago

Lemmy grip of death

I'd be surprised. They've actually been federating for months now. Maybe they've seen a rush of signups kicking the tires, and that's expanded the firehose?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

their server is down right now, but it did federate with lemmy.ml before going down https://lemmy.ml/c/activitypub@community.nodebb.org

https://programming.dev/c/nodebb-development@community.nodebb.org

also you can read their announcement from their Mastodon profile @nodebb@fosstodon.org

edit: it's back up, to see the announcement post in Lemmy format, put this in your Lemmy's search: https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756

it's from !nodebb-development@community.nodebb.org

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

but it did federate with lemmy.ml

How unfortunate

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 1 week ago

Welcome on board I guess?

@michaelc@social.rootaccess.org Agree, they have 15k stars on GitHub, so seems pretty substantial to me

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 1 week ago

Is there a secure way to install it? Or does it use npm?
