Today I learned that #PieFed has RSS feeds for at least Topics and Communities.
That community one is a hoot - PieFed, serving up a #NodeBB forum as an RSS feed. ActivityPub is bonkers.
https://piefed.social/topic/fediverse.rss
https://piefed.social/community/activitypub@community.nodebb.org/feed
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.
I'm an excited user about the fediverse that was testing out try.nodebb.org and did some tests and liked it!
Even this is sort of a test but also a post about myself being a "NodeBB User", a federated user.
Perhaps the line gets blurred when we are all in the fediverse.
I've been impressed so far by NodeBB and only recently *also* realized you are a FLOSS GPLv3 project.
My emotional state: speechless
Forget ghost!
NodeBB is not only FLOSS, it's also a great federated forum software!
Just look up julian@community.nodebb.org
This is a profile on NodeBB but you can watch so many posts and if you select
"Open original page"
it will take you to the forum and make Mastodon and the fedi look nice!
I feel like NodeBB could be the next Mastodon!
It's amazing!
Hello all
Today we're releasing NodeBB v4.2.0. Most of the changes pertain to minor updates to our existing ActivityPub integration.
The "View Original" button for user profiles is located in the sidebar of any remote user profile:
Hey, fediverse, I'm curious about following NodeBB accounts from Mastodon. Has anyone successfully done so?
We 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 @baris and I are working on the same codebase again. Up until version 4 was released, I'd been working on the activitypub
branch and periodically merging in the latest changes from develop
. It's nice to be home!
Improved federation of Group actors
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 @rimu@piefed.social and @freamon who worked with me on debugging this one.
Mentions and Emoji now federating out in source.content
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.
Video
object type now parseable
NodeBB is now able to ingest Peertube Video
objects, and render then in a topic just like other pieces of content.
We received word recently that one of our long-standing clients, NFC Ring, 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!
Hey @dansup@mastodon.social, can I poke you about getting NodeBB on FediDB?
It automatically picked up a couple NodeBB sites, 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:
Okay, what the hell just caused that big uptick in #Fediverse MAUs?
Was it John Oliver? Was it #NodeBB? Was there some drama happening on another platform that resulted in a migration here?
Please tell me if you have the answers.
