Yeah, that's kind of the disconnect here. Lemmy and Piefed are content aggregators, but NodeBB is a forum, and historically, those have been more insular in nature, with a local-only-first focus.
It's a UX-choice, but definitely not a rejection of the federated nature of ActivityPub — want to make that clear.

@julian And the current setup, where admins can add remote categories to the main category's list is, honestly, my preferred compromise. At the very least, as an admin, I'm taking responsibility for featuring those communities, even if I cannot take responsibility for moderating them.
