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?

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

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.

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

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?

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.

@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.
