<p>I've been very interested in NodeBB and I've been testing their ActivityPub stuff over at try.nodebb.org all from the convenience of this Mastodon account.</p><p>Isn't life great?</p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/21/forum-software-nodebb-joins-the-fediverse/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="techcrunch.com/2025/01/21/forum-software-nodebb-joins-the-fediverse/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techcrunch.com/2025/01/21/foru</span><span class="invisible">m-software-nodebb-joins-the-fediverse/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/nodebb/" rel="tag">#NodeBB</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a></p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience with both <a href="/tags/nodebb/" rel="tag">#NodeBB</a> 's and <a href="/tags/discourse/" rel="tag">#Discourse</a> 's <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> / <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> integrations? I am wondering what each can and cannot do. I am familiar with NodeBB's federation but not with Discourse's one. It would be great if there was a comparison chart, but I haven't managed to find anything like that. Thanks!</p>
<p>I know a lot of you still think of the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> as just “Mastodon”.</p><p>But it’s far more than that. There’s an entire ecosystem of federated message boards that’s already proven popular: <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#Piefed</a>, <a href="/tags/nodebb/" rel="tag">#NodeBB</a>, <a href="/tags/lemmy/" rel="tag">#Lemmy</a>, <a href="/tags/mbin/" rel="tag">#Mbin</a>, and <a href="/tags/discourse/" rel="tag">#Discourse</a>.</p><p>Even the classics like <a href="/tags/friendica/" rel="tag">#Friendica</a> and <a href="/tags/hubzilla/" rel="tag">#Hubzilla</a> have solid forum features baked in.</p><p>If you’re only here for the microblogging, you’re missing a key piece. Communities built around interests are something <a href="/tags/twitter/" rel="tag">#Twitter</a> never offered, and <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> still doesn’t.</p><p>So if you’re looking to replace your <a href="/tags/facebook/" rel="tag">#Facebook</a> Groups, the Fediverse already has you covered.</p>
<p>Forget ghost!</p><p>NodeBB is not only FLOSS, it's also a great federated forum software!</p><p>Just look up
[email protected] </p><p>This is a profile on NodeBB but you can watch so many posts and if you select </p><p>"Open original page" </p><p>it will take you to the forum and make Mastodon and the fedi look nice!</p><p>I feel like NodeBB could be the next Mastodon!</p><p>It's amazing!</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/floss/" rel="tag">#FLOSS</a> <a href="/tags/nodebb/" rel="tag">#NodeBB</a> <a href="/tags/thenextmastodon/" rel="tag">#TheNextMastodon</a></p>
