Alejandro BaezStarted to look at what modern forums look like now. Besides <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/discourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#discourse</a>. 😅 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nodebb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodebb</a> is nice. Somewhat simple. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nodejs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodejs</a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#redis</a>, and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mongodb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mongodb</a>.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/flarum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flarum</a> is very intuitive. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#php</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mariadb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mariadb</a>. Runs light and smooth.Flarum liking for simplicity. Although nodebb has fediverse magic. 😎

꧁ wakest ꧂Ah cool <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/baris" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@baris</a> fixed one of the <a href="https://social.wake.st/tags/NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> bugs I filed in February! <a href="https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13205#event-17094664390" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13205#event-17094664390</a>

juliantl;dr — you can now find remote categories and see your tracked/watched categories in <code>/world</code>. A new alpha version of NodeBB was tagged today: v4.3.0-alpha.3. The biggest change is to the <code>/world</code> route, which up until now showed a list of topics from outside of the local NodeBB instance. New to this alpha release: <ol> <li>A quick search widget was added, allowing you to directly search for remote categories. There is no need to navigate to to the search page to discover new categories.</li> <li>Your list of tracked and watched categories will show at the top of the page. <ul> <li>"Tracking" and "Watching" categories—both local and remote—is how content discovery happens in NodeBB. Tracked categories will have new content show up in the "unread" page, while watched categories take that a step further and notify you when new content is posted.</li> <li>Tracking and watching a category will tell NodeBB to subscribe to that remote community for updates</li> </ul> </li> </ol> At this time we're continuing to look for stability issues with the remote category integration. We'll be working on QoL fixes as we move into the beta phase this/next week.

Jeff SikesToday I learned that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PieFed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PieFed</a> has RSS feeds for at least Topics and Communities. That community one is a hoot - PieFed, serving up a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> forum as an RSS feed. ActivityPub is bonkers.<a href="https://piefed.social/topic/fediverse.rss" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://piefed.social/topic/fediverse.rss</a><a href="https://piefed.social/community/activitypub@community.nodebb.org/feed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://piefed.social/community/activitypub@community.nodebb.org/feed</a>

100% TAX ✅ ✅We concluded that for practical reasons I'd need to mention the "general-discussion" @ community.nodebb.org (so I'll do that)unless someone was following me on mastodon.social.The theory is this:If nobody follows me from here(community.nodebb.org) then my messages won't appear here because nobody on community.nodebb.org asked for them. To me this makes sense.Exactly how it works in detail though, I don't know.<a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/2/general-discussion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@general-discussion</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HowStuffWorks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HowStuffWorks</a>

julianHello all :smile: Today we're releasing NodeBB v4.2.0. Most of the changes pertain to minor updates to our existing ActivityPub integration. <ul> <li>Categories can now follow regular users <ul> <li>v4 launched with the ability for NodeBB to synchronize categories with other "group" type remote accounts. While it was possible to follow regular users, their content did not properly load into the category. This has now been fixed.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Actual handling (not just pretend ✨) of content from Ghost :ghost:</li> <li>Added button to view original profile of remote users</li> <li>Better handling of content for remote chat messages (non-public notes)</li> <li>Forking and moving posts between topics now announced by the category</li> <li>Separate chat message length cutoff for remote messages</li> <li>Improved link handling on remote content</li> <li>Categories now have a handle in the description; added an additional setting for a remote-only addendum for local categories</li> </ul> The "View Original" button for user profiles is located in the sidebar of any remote user profile:

Robert W. GehlHey, fediverse, I'm curious about following NodeBB accounts from Mastodon.

julianWe just released version 4.1.0 of NodeBB. Here are the latest features you can now take advantage of! As an aside, for the first time in a long while, both <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/baris" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@baris</a> and I are working on the same codebase again. Up until <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18545/nodebb-v4.0.0-federate-good-times-come-on" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">version 4 was released</a>, I'd been working on the <code>activitypub</code> branch and periodically merging in the latest changes from <code>develop</code>. It's nice to be home! :house_with_garden: Improved federation of Group actors :left_speech_bubble: We've improved the activity synchronization for followed group actors. Local updates/likes/etc. are now federated outward by the category in addition to those from remote users. Thanks to <a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rimu@piefed.social</a> and <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/freamon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@freamon</a> who worked with me on debugging this one. Mentions and Emoji now federating out in source.content :wave: Emoji and mentions have been sent out to followers since v4, but that wasn't reflected in the raw markdown content that we also send along. That has been remediated now, and this change improves nodebb-to-nodebb federation. <code>Video</code> object type now parseable :tv: NodeBB is now able to ingest Peertube <code>Video</code> objects, and render then in a topic just like other pieces of content.

julianWe received word recently that one of our long-standing clients, <a href="https://nfcring.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NFC Ring</a>, is planning to shut down their forum toward the end of the month. While this is normally a sad time, it's worth mentioning that NFC Ring has been hosting their forum with NodeBB for over ten years! They've been with us just about as long as our self-serve hosting service has been, along with all of our ups and downs over the years. Their forum contained a couple custom integrations, along with the earliest known NodeBB SSO plugin, and had a custom theme at one point as well. These innovators envisioned the idea of paying for groceries with the tap of a ring years before that technology became ubiquitous. Super cool. Nevertheless, their trust in us (a dinky little company in 2013) did not go unnoticed, and we wish them the best!

julianHey <a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dansup@mastodon.social</a>, can I poke you about getting NodeBB on FediDB? It automatically <a href="https://fedidb.org/network/instance/community.nodebb.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">picked up a couple NodeBB sites</a>, so I think the nodeinfo stuff is working, just not sure if it required some manual intervention on your end to get the software link working — it currently 404s. Cheers :flag-ca:

Chris TrottierOkay, what the hell just caused that big uptick in <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> MAUs?Was it John Oliver? Was it <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>? Was there some drama happening on another platform that resulted in a migration here?Please tell me if you have the answers. RE: <a href="https://atomicpoet.org/objects/4010e7a5-6754-4ae5-9f6e-00cac5aa7a63" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://atomicpoet.org/objects/4010e7a5-6754-4ae5-9f6e-00cac5aa7a63</a>

Chris TrottierGroup actors are essential to the Fediverse. They’re the best way to create a community and have a topical discussion. For example, I might want to talk about PC gaming. Without group actors, I have to hope someone who follows me also likes PC gaming which, considering the demographics of people who tend to follow me, is not so likely. I also like to write about aesthetic things. Which is also an interest of mine that isn’t generally mainstream enough for the Fediverse. And music? People on <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> don’t want to talk about that either. So how to solve this problem? By tagging a group actor on <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/piefed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Piefed</a>, or <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>. Preferably, one that has to do with the topic you want to discuss. And believe me, this is more effective than hashtags.

100% TAX ✅ ✅I've been very interested in NodeBB and I've been testing their ActivityPub stuff over at try.nodebb.org all from the convenience of this Mastodon account.Isn't life great?<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/21/forum-software-nodebb-joins-the-fediverse/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/21/forum-software-nodebb-joins-the-fediverse/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a>

Hamiller FriendicaDa mich die Neugier wohl endgültig überwältigt hat, hab ich mir gerade einen Account beim NodeBB-Forum von WeDistribute.org erstellt. Vor allem, um mir die Unterschiede gegenüber Lemmy anzusehen.<a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=Lemmy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a> <a href="https://anonsys.net/search?tag=NodeBB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>

Chris TrottierI wanted to see the current status of group actor support in <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>.This feature has been requested all the way back in 2016. It’s a feature request that is so old, it’s the 139th ticket. After it was made, <a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gargron</a> stated shortly after:<blockquote>I made a decision not to implement groups. They offer little benefit over a cost of added complexity, and the bangtag syntax personally irks me too.</blockquote>A year later, he re-opened the feature request and said:<blockquote>Reopening, but not high priority.</blockquote>No further update since then. Nearly a decade after this feature had been requested, group support has not been added and it’s still not a high priority. Now the intent of this post isn’t to wag my finger at Mastodon and say, “How dare they!” It’s clear that Mastodon is in a transitional state right now, and their focus is on other things – like quote posts and search. But it is to say that the development of this feature is so completely out of Mastodon’s control that it now represents an opportunity loss for the platform. Because the truth is – whether or not Mastodon supports group actors – many Mastodon users are using it anyway even though this causes quite a few UI/UX problems along the way. Namely, the common Mastodon user cannot differentiate between a single user account and a group actor. So now we have two groups of Mastodon users: those who want to make use of services like <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/piefed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Piefed</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>, and those who are completely unaware of those services and ask, “Why the hell is Mastodon acting like this when I try to interact with that account?”More to the point, group actors should be embraced because not only is this a valuable feature, but they’re also critical for community safety. No one can moderate a hashtag, but they can certainly moderate a Lemmy community.Like I said, though, development of Mastodon is ongoing – whether Mastodon participates or not. And that specific element of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> continues to grow, despite the fact that the most used Fediverse service (sans Threads) regards it as “low priority”. As long as Reddit and Facebook Groups users seek out an open, federated alternative, there will be demand for group actors.Why am I saying all this? Because this is my plea for better interoperability. It is certainly within Mastodon’s right to be picky about what features they implement. However, the Fediverse would be plainly better if Mastodon finally supported this important ActivityPub standard.<a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/139" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/139</a><a class="u-url mention" href="https://piefed.social/c/fediversenews" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fediversenews</a>
