@julian this is really neat.

Bulletin boards (a.k.a., "forums") have never gone away. Actually, they're more popular than ever.
Reddit, for example, is basically a giant bulletin board.
Facebook Groups are forums -- bolted onto Facebook itself -- and probably a major reason people still use Facebook.
Numerous help desk software, such as Zendesk, use bulletin boards as a major selling point of their platform.
And the reason why @nodebb@fosstodon.org federating is such a big deal is because a major request many people have regarding the #Fediverse is bulletin board capabilities. This now exists with NodeBB 4.0.0 -- which was just released today.

Never heard of NodeBB before, but glad it's around! The more the merrier on the fediverse
Seems like NodeBB stole discourse's thunder and have proper activitypub integration now. -

@julian It's great. I saw first a link to your website and I could not reply from my Mastodon account. I had to find the post through Mastodon itself.
Maybe in the future you could add the possibility to reply from mastodon account.

You'll have to use the directly post link (in the timestamp), e.g. https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756
I'll look into making this a bit more seamless
