> It's on phpBB fourm software
Oh wow, old school. I can't find any evidence of AP support for phpBB.
But FYI I did find LemmyBB, an alternative client for Lemmy that uses phpBB styling (by borrowing some of their GPLv2 code);
Lemmy is structured in a way that backend (database, api, federation etc) and frontend (html, css, javascript) are completely separate. This makes it possible to create other frontends which can take the place of lemmy-ui. I have long been playing with the thought of having a Lemmy frontend that looks more like a traditional forum. Now I finally found some time to work on this, and get an initial proof of concept working. [https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/91170cff-8737-4a84-b70d-5e2c4d85bf72.png] [https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/da0d0bd8-5dcd-4ea8-a3ab-3b8eabf8b85a.png] To reduce the amount of work, the project uses HTML templates and CSS themes from phpBB [https://www.phpbb.com/], which are open source under GPLv2. This also has the advantage that many preexisting phpBB themes can be used for lemmyBB. It is written in Rust, because it allows for tight integration with the Lemmy API, and is generally a great language for webservers. For now the funcionality is very basic, but nonetheless its already usable. You can: - browse the local post listing - browse comments - login and logout - create new posts and comments To give it a try, run the following commands on your local computer, replacing lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] with your own instance: git clone https://github.com/Nutomic/lemmyBB.git LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=https://lemmy.ml cargo run If there is any specific feature that you would like to see added, please open an issue [https://github.com/Nutomic/lemmyBB/issues]. For now there arent any instructions for deploying lemmyBB to a server. If you would like to do that, please open an issue as well. This post was made from lemmyBB.
[Frontend] lemmyBB was archived, maybe someone else is interested?
[Frontend] lemmyBB was archived, maybe someone else is... #lemmy #threadiverse #frontend #dev #lemmybb@ucas für Nutzung als "Forenplattform" ist tatsächlich m.E. #Lemmy am nächsten dran.
Es gibt auch altenative Oberflächen, die einige Instanzen (z.B. RollenspielMonster) nutzen, die eine klassischere Forendarstellung bieten wie #lemmyBB : https://gnulinux.ch/fediverse-serie-willkommen-im-lemmyversum-communitys-im-fediverse
With the on-going #RedditMigration, #Lemmy is getting more attention.
Are you aware that there is an alternative #frontend to Lemmy? It is called #LemmyBB.
“LemmyBB” is a custom frontend for Lemmy which makes the UI look like the #phpBB #forum software with #ActivityPub functionality.
The source code is available here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB
We can probably even say that we now have an ActivityPub forum software; and all we need was a different frontend for an existing fediverse software.

I've often said that we need a Fediverse alternative to Reddit. I tried #lemmyBB but it doesn't seem to get much attention and is still very bare-bones.
Someone pointed me to #kbin (developed by @ernest). It looks great for early stages. I recommend everyone who wants to build a Reddit-type community join.
