Following a category from the fediverse/social web

@julian I am going to plow into the documentation tomorrow, but I must know to get to sleep is this: can nbb run multi-tenant, much like Wordpress multisite, right now? If not, is it roadmapped?
-
@[email protected] no, multi-tenancy is not available in NodeBB at this time. Each installation is tied to one canonical domain.
There has been scattered interest for something like that over the years but not enough to justify the maintenance burden, sorry.
-
@julian Okay, figured. What about group-controlled categories (to use your term for section). Or at least some form of member moderated subforum, ala Reddit. Is that doable now? (Still haven’t dived too deep on docs. That’s tomorrow).
-
@julian Have you seen the implementation of private groups in Streams? It is based on the Conversation Containers https://fediversity.site/help/develop/en/Containers
I'll probably use this model in my project.(There's is comment about it from @mikedev but for some reason it didn't arrive to your server)
-
@bh4-tech using latest stable NodeBB, you cannot yet. This is something on a separate development branch that is not cleared for production usage (though that didn't stop me from using it here )
I'll put together a guide next week for administrators interested in trying out the branch.

Is this about running a second NodeBB forum using the same database?

Currently, you can add individual users as moderators for each categories/sub-categories from ACP > Manage > Admins & Mods , but I believe you cannot assign a group as moderators for now...
-
@crazycells that’s basically correct yes. Once you get into any kind of moderated or controlled topics, predictable organization end social problems will arise in everything from namespace and authority control, to metadata formats, and of course thesaurus control. I see big benefits from starting off with easily replicated community nodes for curating different kinds of subjects, but with similar (but customizable) methods within the same database ecosystem, for now.

Thanks @crazycells . I I'm pretty sure it will become important to do that sooner or later.
probably sooner
