Hello, I’m currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I’d appreciate it.  

[Edit] does anybody know if nodeBB has a way to prevent federated upvotes from contributing to forum member specific reputation points?

What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?
Show threadbdonvrFeb 26

Traditional, old school forums.

They’ve been around forever but just recently become federated software.

Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.

It's a linear view, in case you were wondering

We need more forums again!

How does federation work? Do you subscribe to a community or something and it appears as a forum subsection? Likewise how do you post to a community, magazine, whatever mastodon has etc?

This forum is still a work in progress, but you can see at the bottom I have some communities in the “Federated Communities” to test it out.

From there, each topic is an individual post from the community.

Show threadjulianFeb 27

I put together a brief explainer here 🙂

Federation: What is it and how does it work?

It is possible for NodeBBs to talk with each other. In fact, not only can two NodeBB forums see and share conversations, you can also connect with other webs...

I didn't see this edit until just now.

Ah... no, this is not available, but if it is important to you, I would recommend you open a GitHub issue. This could be something toggleable by admins.

I see your reply on lemmy!
Show threadstravanasuFeb 27
Thank you for letting me know! If this was the reply you mean, then unfortunately it was from Lemmy :( I still can’t see the reply I sent from Mastodon. Maybe just using the “reply” button there isn’t enough?
Show thread73msFeb 27
You might have to tag the community for it to show up.
Show threadstravanasuFeb 27
Thanks for the tip! let me try that :)
Show threadstravanasuFeb 27

Actually I fear that if I tag the community, my reply might appear as a new post in the community, rather than a reply in a previous post.

According to this source it may happen that replies from Mastodon simply don’t show up.

How to reply to Lemmy posts from Mastodon

Show thread73msFeb 27
as long as it’s a reply to another post I’ve never seen that happen when mentioning the community. What the linked post says is certainly true, the federation between some platforms like Lemmy or WP and Mastodon doesn’t always seem to be as solid as it is between Mastodon instances or even other platforms that regularly interact with Mastodon.
Show threadundrendoFeb 27

@73ms

OK let me try replying from Mastodon then. If I get it correctly now, the important point is to include also a reference to the community. So now I add that and let's see... Sorry for using your post for this test.
