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?

Damnit, it working just before but now it doesn’t work on NodeBB 😅

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

Die4Ever@programming.dev on 20 Jan 20:21 collapse

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

Fitik@fedia.io on 20 Jan 20:25 collapse

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

Die4Ever@programming.dev on 20 Jan 20:30 collapse

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 on 20 Jan 20:26 next collapse

Lemmy grip of death

Fitik@fedia.io on 20 Jan 20:27 collapse

Lmao, might have to do something with this?

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?

michaelc@social.rootaccess.org on 20 Jan 20:34 next collapse

@Fitik Fantastic news!

Fitik@fedia.io on 20 Jan 20:42 collapse

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

Die4Ever@programming.dev on 20 Jan 20:46 next collapse

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

Godot would be nice

Die4Ever@programming.dev on 20 Jan 20:56 next collapse

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

programming.dev/…/nodebb-development@community.no…

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: community.nodebb.org/post/102756

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

but it did federate with lemmy.ml

How unfortunate

Emperor@feddit.uk on 20 Jan 21:41 next collapse

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 Agree, and now you can follow it directly at !swicg@community.nodebb.org

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

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

Welcome on board I guess?
