Hello, I'm currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I'd appreciate it. :)

[Edit] does anybody know if nodeBB has a way to prevent federated upvotes from contributing to forum member specific reputation points?

Hello! Replying from an Mbin instance. First time I think I've seen a forum software actually federate out! Curious how it looks on your side

[โ€“] emb@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!

@emb@lemmy.world I agree. We need to bring back forums.

It may want a word but what it has are binaries :)

[โ€“] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some forums still exist, actually.

Well, nice to see this post come up. Hello!

[โ€“] anthony@forum.unfinishedprojects.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@julian@activitypub.space hello! And I must say, thank you for patiently answering all my nodeBB questions lately! You've been a real help :)

Also, thank you for creating this wonderful open source software!

Did you document the setup? I'm interested in hosting this.

[โ€“] RollForInitiative@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see your reply on lemmy!

[โ€“] pglpm@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for letting me know! If this was the reply you mean, then unfortunately it was from Lemmy :( I still can't see the reply I sent from Mastodon. Maybe just using the "reply" button there isn't enough?

You might have to tag the community for it to show up.

I didn't see this edit until just now.

Ah... no, this is not available, but if it is important to you, I would recommend you open a GitHub issue. This could be something toggleable by admins.

@julian@activitypub.space Thank you - I'll think on it a bit, and possibly do that. I appreciate the reply!

[โ€“] loam@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.

[โ€“] julian@activitypub.space 10 points 2 months ago

It's a linear view, in case you were wondering

That's terrific! Gotta get to nodeBB

[โ€“] testaccount372920@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?

@testaccount372920@piefed.zip it's forum software. So I'm building a standalone forum, but am going to have a few categories that connect to the fediverse for communities that complement ours :)

[โ€“] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 months ago

Traditional, old school forums.

They've been around forever but just recently become federated software.
