Hello from the interwebz. All your base are belong to us

It's me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!
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
NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!
@emb@lemmy.world I agree. We need to bring back forums.
USEnet would like a word.
Some forums still exist, actually.
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!

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!
Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.
[This reply is from Lemmy] I replied from Mastodon, but can't see my reply on Lemmy ๐ค
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.
Hello from my freshly set-up PieFed instance! Let's see if this comment reaches you... :-)
I see it from PieFed.Social. I'd absolutely love it if we got more FV content here, such as NodeBB. :D
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.


I put together a brief explainer here ๐
