    I had the opportunity to work with the team at OpenBeta on the re-launching of their community forums. They're one of our earliest v4 testers, since they've agreed to have ActivityPub enabled!

    (Okay, more realistically I dragged them into it kicking and screaming, but they did provide the opportunity for the forum relaunch, so I'm taking the opportunities as they come!)

    During the prep, I discussed some of the well-trodden concept of the fediverse to my co-admin, Ben ([email protected] and also [email protected])... stuff I'm sure you've come across:

    • Fragmented nature of conversations
    • The idea of an instance
    • Content discovery with respect to the follow-relationship model

    ... and wouldn't you know it, it's really hard to discuss these ideas, and Ben is actually fairly well-versed! He ran his own Iceshrimp instance, so all of this wasn't exactly new to him.

    Part of it was that I had been steeped in the ActivityPub dev scene for almost a year, so it's hard to step back and explain to mere mortals laymen non-developers what exactly all this ActivityPub nonsense is.

    All I know it gets me thinking that I need to work with [email protected] on documentation!

    That new NodeBB instance, by the way, is https://community.openbeta.io 🙂

    Edits arent reflected still. In theory can AcitivtyPub repost an updated post easily, or does it have no ability to retract a post to resend a corrected one?

      NodeBB sends the update. Mastodon doesn't accept it for some reason, it's something I've yet to figure out.

      Does the update propagate to Discourse?

        Yes, the Discorse thread version doesnt accept edit updates either.
        I think if the bar is set so that different nodebb sites can fully connect then thats enough, as nobody can control what 3rd parties do

          Test1, mentioning a user at a different nodebb server [email protected]

          Test2 [email protected]

          Edit: connecting between nodebb instances doesnt seem to be working, which is more concerning.
          I tried it both ways, mentions from and to there

          julian just to help me test, are usernames case sensitive? I have some capital letters in a username on another nobebb site, do I need to ensure they are in the correct case?

            eeeee user slugs are always lower case. [email protected] didn't get the notification? That's odd.

                  Should we then not be using the term syndication / network-syndication, or is that already to attached to other existent WWW technologies?
