Seeing #ActivityPub integration with #NodeBB is pretty cool!
For those who prefer a bulletin board interface for the #Fediverse, this is pretty darn attractive. Anyone who was active with Internet forums back in the ‘90s and ‘00s would love this quite a lot.
As many of us know, the problem with old Internet forums is that, while they provided a cozy community for folks who liked to follow specific topics, they often died because the likes of Facebook simply had a larger network effect.
But with NodeBB and ActivityPub, Internet forums may soon find that they have a network effect of hundreds of millions of people.
If you ever used Internet forums but have since stopped, would NodeBB’s foray into the Fediverse have you increase your participation with them again?

Thanks @[email protected] for the shoutout. We've been working on the ActivityPub implementation for NodeBB pretty much full-time since the start of 2024 and have made some decent progress so far.
Lots to do and lots still in flux, but we're nearing the alpha stage.
