Here's a few things you can expect when there's a #Fediverse outage:
- oh wait, there's no such thing, the Fediverse is actually federated
- there are over 30k totally independent servers
- if one of them goes down the rest of the Fediverse works just fine

@julian This is exciting! Is it compatible with Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin? And what about any other forum software, such as Discourse with the ActivityPub plugin?
I'd like to see some info in the docs about how to use it from a user point of view. For example how do I find a thread on another forum (or Mastodon etc) and reply to it from NodeBB?
@eeeee The lack of complete federation is another very good (and very hard to solve) point that makes federation less-than-intuitive. From my Mastodon instance the situation is worse, none of @bumblefudge 's posts nor any others from SocialHub appear in the thread. (See https://indieweb.social/@julian@community.nodebb.org/112972609579702339)
I suspect most of the federation problems mentioned in the last few posts are the "fault" of Discourse – BrowserPub fails to find anything at https://browser.pub/https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/explaining-the-fediverse-is-a-hard-problem/4462/4 – but in the end the user doesn't care whose fault it is when something doesn't work, they just think federation is confusing and broken.
