Thank you. 1. I’ll definitely check out Anubis and your configuration to see if it will work for my scenario. 2. Ok, good to know - if it’s simply a bug then that that’s fine, mostly I wanted to make sure it wasn’t an indicator that something deeper was broken or getting blocked in the communication. 3. Sorry, I used the term instance when I meant community. But it sounds like the federation is more so to bring traffic into the forum, rather then out. Did I understand that correctly? If that is the case, then I may not opt to use it - as I was originally hoping for a way to push forum content into communities. I’ll explore this further I guess - because I’m unfamiliar with relays and fedibuzz.

Overall, I appreciate the detailed response :)

NodeBB is a two-way ActivityPub server, which means that it pushes content out to the wider fediverse, as well as allowing you to discover new content via followers and /world.

So for your use-case, NodeBB is still a good way to push forum content into communities. You can even set up NodeBB so that your forum index doesn't contain any local categories, but is actually made up of remote categories!

For example, look at https://activitypub.space, under the "Related Communities" section, contain a couple of sub-categories which are actually Lemmy and Piefed communities. So you are able to just post there if you have content to share :slightly_smiling_face:

  Ok, that’s good news! Also, I checked the activitypub.space, and see they have a related communities section, but it wasn’t clickable for me (maybe it just requires login, or some other simple issue inm missing) - regardless that is a great feature and might be a good way to pull content into the forum without muddying the content within my primary categories. :)

    Related Communities is just a header, the related communities themselves are listed below that header :slightly_smiling_face:

    Yeah, but it was empty for me. Might require login or something. Or maybe there are just no related communities?
    
    Eh, either way - not a big deal lol
