This is a federated test post from a nodeBB forum.

submitted by edited

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


i still can’t get over how cool federation is


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

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


Some forums still exist, actually.

Yeah, there are some I still follow. Love to see that they’re still kicking, here and there.



USEnet would like a word.

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




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

@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.





It’s me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!

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!



[This reply is from Lemmy] I replied from Mastodon, but can’t see my reply on Lemmy 🤔

I see your reply on lemmy!

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.

Actually I fear that if I tag the community, my reply might appear as a new post in the community, rather than a reply in a previous post.

According to this source it may happen that replies from Mastodon simply don’t show up.

as long as it’s a reply to another post I’ve never seen that happen when mentioning the community. What the linked post says is certainly true though, the federation between some platforms like Lemmy or WP and Mastodon doesn’t always seem to be as solid as it is between Mastodon instances or even other platforms that regularly interact with Mastodon.

You were perfectly right, it worked! 🥳 Thank you so much for this extremely useful advice!


@73ms

OK let me try replying from Mastodon then. If I get it correctly now, the important point is to include also a reference to the community. So now I add that and let's see... Sorry for using your post for this test.

@fediverse




Thanks for the tip! let me try that :)






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

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

the images are not loading for us, maybe it’s because of the maintenance mode?




Hello from Lemmy.world



That’s terrific! Gotta get to nodeBB


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 :)


Traditional, old school forums.

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



put me in the screenshot



Hi from Lemmy 👋


I see you, wetlander

May you find water and shade



I see it from PieFed.Social. I’d absolutely love it if we got more FV content here, such as NodeBB. :D


Test?…. TEST!


Hi from..somewhere, somewhen

Signed,

Someguy



Popped up in (self-hosted) Piefed just fine!


I’m here in yo Node spammin yo shit, BB :)




Yes, it’s working.


Hello there nodebb



Test works 😅


Hi from … something



Hello from piefed! Cool project


Sorry I don’t have an answer to your question at the moment but I just would like to add that I, too am implementing activitypub in my blog and if you’d like to chat my DMs are open :)


We need more forums again!

How does federation work? Do you subscribe to a community or something and it appears as a forum subsection? Likewise how do you post to a community, magazine, whatever mastodon has etc?


@4am@lemmy.zip This forum is still a work in progress, but you can see at the bottom I have some communities in the “Federated Communities” to test it out.

From there, each topic is an individual post from the community.
