This is a federated test post from a nodeBB forum.
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?

Hello from the interwebz. All your base are belong to us
@[email protected] lol, jokes on you, we dont have any members yet haha. Or from a different perspective: all of the fediverse userbase belongs to us. . . 😈
It's me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!
Hello you!
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
NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!
@[email protected] I agree. We need to bring back forums.
USEnet would like a word.
It may want a word but what it has are binaries :)
Some forums still exist, actually.
Yeah, there are some I still follow. Love to see that they're still kicking, here and there.
Well, nice to see this post come up. Hello!
@[email protected] hello! And I must say, thank you for patiently answering all my nodeBB questions lately! You've been a real help :)
Also, thank you for creating this wonderful open source software!
Did you document the setup? I'm interested in hosting this.

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.
@[email protected] Thank you - I'll think on it a bit, and possibly do that. I appreciate the reply!
[This reply is from Lemmy] I replied from Mastodon, but can't see my reply on Lemmy 🤔
I see your reply on lemmy!
Thank you for letting me know! If this was the reply you mean, then unfortunately it was from Lemmy :( I still can't see the reply I sent from Mastodon. Maybe just using the "reply" button there isn't enough?
You might have to tag the community for it to show up.
Actually I fear that if I tag the community, my reply might appear as a new post in the community, rather than a reply in a previous post.
According to this source it may happen that replies from Mastodon simply don't show up.
as long as it's a reply to another post I've never seen that happen when mentioning the community. What the linked post says is certainly true though, the federation between some platforms like Lemmy or WP and Mastodon doesn't always seem to be as solid as it is between Mastodon instances or even other platforms that regularly interact with Mastodon.
You were perfectly right, it worked! 🥳 Thank you so much for this extremely useful advice!

OK let me try replying from Mastodon then. If I get it correctly now, the important point is to include also a reference to the community. So now I add that and let's see... Sorry for using your post for this test.
@fediverse
Thanks for the tip! let me try that :)
(sorry, thought you were OP)
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

the images are not loading for us, maybe it's because of the maintenance mode?
hi
Hello from Lemmy.world
That's terrific! Gotta get to nodeBB
What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?
@[email protected] 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.
put me in the screenshot

Hello from my freshly set-up PieFed instance! Let's see if this comment reaches you... :-)
I see you, wetlander
May you find water and shade
I see it from PieFed.Social. I'd absolutely love it if we got more FV content here, such as NodeBB. :D
Test works 😅
Yes, it's working.
Works for me
Hello from piefed! Cool project
Hi from Piefed
Popped up in (self-hosted) Piefed just fine!
Hello there nodebb
Testing
Hi from ... something
I'm here in yo Node spammin yo shit, BB :)
nice!
Hey there!
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?
@[email protected] 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.
I put together a brief explainer here 🙂
