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. :)
Testing
It’s me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!
Hi from Lemmy 👋
Hello you!
Yes, it’s working.
Hey there!
Hello from the interwebz. All your base are belong to us
I see it from PieFed.Social. I’d absolutely love it if we got more FV content here, such as NodeBB. :D
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
Hi from Piefed
What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?
Hello there nodebb
Testing
Test works 😅
Ey bb
Hi from … something
i still can’t get over how cool federation is
NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!
Hi from..somewhere, somewhen
Signed,
Someguy
nice!
Traditional, old school forums.
They’ve been around forever but just recently become federated software.
Works for me
Popped up in (self-hosted) Piefed just fine!
Test?…. TEST!
Hello from piefed! Cool project
Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.
That’s terrific! Gotta get to nodeBB
Some forums still exist, actually.
USEnet would like a word.
Yeah, there are some I still follow. Love to see that they’re still kicking, here and there.
Hello world!
hello my friend, commenting as requested.
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?
Replying from Lemmy, via Thunder. Hello!
I see you, wetlander
May you find water and shade
put me in the screenshot
I’m here in yo Node spammin yo shit, BB :)
It may want a word but what it has are binaries :)
I replied from Mastodon, but can’t see my reply on Lemmy 🤔
Hello from Lemmy.world
I see your reply on lemmy!
I also see your post in 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.
Thanks for the tip! let me try that :)
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, 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.
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.
You were perfectly right, it worked! 🥳 Thank you so much for this extremely useful advice!
Hello from my freshly set-up PieFed instance! Let’s see if this comment reaches you… :-)
Woohoo forums!!
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 :)
