Comment on Looking for federated NodeBB instances

There are comparatively few instances that federate, since we are new to the activitypub game.

I made the decision that if you upgrade to v4, AP is turned off. Install a new instance of NodeBB, and ActivityPub is enabled out of the box.

Side effect of that would be all instances running prior to v4 won't be federating, but at least there will be no surprises!

Here's a list, but it's not listed by topic or genre.

Also, a couple years back I lost basically all of my gaming clients to Discord.

Travesty. Discord pales in comparison to what forums can do.

So NodeBB and forums in general used to be pretty big in games, but not so much now.

Last one I know of is Sea of Thieves, but they don't federate.

... yet? 😂

Hey, I checked a few of the links you posted, but it’s hard to tell what most of those NodeBB instances are actually for: many lack descriptions and the forum names don’t say much. I found a literature forum but it only has three posts — I don’t want to make an account just to shout into the void.

I tried posting to a literature community I found from Lemmy but the post never showed up on the NodeBB instance. I used Lemmy’s search with the target community URL (community.darkscribes.com/…/general-discussion), it found the community, and I created a post from Lemmy (lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/54997372). I can see the post on Lemmy but not on the target NodeBB instance. Any idea why that might be or how to get Lemmy posts to appear on federated NodeBB forums?

  Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... unfortunately debugging server-to-server interactions is kind of tough. It should work though, so I don't know why it didn't... yet. It could be their version of NodeBB isn't up to date enough.
  
  @cwsmith@community.darkscribes.com @cwsmith@community.nodebb.org are you able to weigh in and let me know the NodeBB version? Could also be a privileges issue with the fediverse pseudo-user.
