@devnull provided an update on his ActivityPub development for #nodebb. Lots of exciting progress, but we've only just begun 💪

Back in late July, we took a chance and applied for the @NGIZero NGI0 Core August 2023 call for projects. Our application dealt almost entirely with bringing #ActivityPub to #NodeBB, and we're happy to announce that we've been officially greenlit!

Looking forward to working in tandem with some other highly esteemed colleagues @helge and @tchambers with their testing suites too 🙂 (edit: @J12t too!)

The other small part of our application dealt with much-needed accessibility audits and fixes 💪

The Two-Factor Authentication plugin that comes bundled with #NodeBB was just updated to v7.4.0. It now notifies you if your account was accessed, but the second factor challenge was not passed. If you see this notification, and it wasn't you, you just might want to change your now-compromised password!

Oft forgotten, this feature provides much needed positive reinforcement that, yeah, #2FA works!

nodebb, 8 months ago to UX

#UX question for the #mastodon hivemind.

When using a #forum, and you quote a post, do you expect to be able to edit the post (i.e. to add emphasis, truncate unnecessary parts, etc.)?

It's possible to structure quoted posts like "references", so a reference to a deleted post is also empty. This has advantages when it comes to the #GDPR Right to Erasure, but may be a grey area (is a quoted post still YOUR post?).

The negative cost is a hit to UX.

How do you publicly disclose your #security #vulnerabilities

We used to post them on our forum... sometimes on #GitHub, sometimes via changelog, sometimes not at all. It was pretty haphazard, involved a lot of manual steps, and we needed to do better.

So we decided to throw some #code (and some #nocode) at this problem and centralized it all while keeping a bunch of options open for interested parties 👇

🔔 #NodeBB 3.4.0 is out!

More updates to the chat UX (pinning, public room notifications, real-time typing notifications), improved user moderation tooling, post queue updates, and as usual, lots of bug fixes 😳

nodebb, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago) to SEO

Something funny came across our desk this morning... Apparently @cloudron's #MatterMost subcategory is ranking so well it's attracting general questions about the software itself, and even outranks the MatterMost subreddit!

We'll take the win 😀 Baris has been spending some time recently optimizing our metadata, and it seems to be paying off. The real MVP is their community content ✍️

That said #SEO is still witchcraft and wizardry, and nobody will change my mind.

#NodeBB v3.3.0 has landed! 🚀

Public group chats (!!), FontAwesome Pro support, better dark mode, among much much more!

We're really happy with the latest changes to the #chats system. Who needs #Discord anymore when you can have a kickass #forum system with chats subsystem that is on-par with Discord? 😊

Coming soon to #nodebb, rel="me" support so you can link to your NodeBB profile from #Mastodon and have it turn green/verified! ✅

We're not quite there yet, but @opliko is working on it! 😄

🌠 Did you know that #NodeBB now supports public chat rooms?

tl;dr — The upcoming 3.3.0 release will add support for public group chats and allow bigger rooms. 🎊

---

We've put in a whole bunch of effort to refactor the chat system to support this, bringing us just that little bit closer to replacing incumbents like IRC/Discord/Slack, check it out on our forum, or take a stroll down memory lane and read up on the history of our chat implementation 👇

User #tracking is so prevalent that we often have clients in the EU ask us to provide a list of #cookies served by #NodeBB on behalf of third-parties.

Sometimes they don't understand that there's nothing to send over.

"Please send us a list of third-party cookies"

"There is no need to send a list, we only serve one single session cookie"

"I need a list to send up to legal"

sends empty list

A tad delayed, given we're already half a year in, but here's a sneak peek of what came out of our 2023 #roadmap meeting!

tl;dr revamped ACP, #activitypub 🌐 refactored chats 📣 and more!

Last month @devnull started playing around with rich embeds from inside posts, and rolled that work into a plugin.

It is now generally available for anyone who wishes to add that functionality in.

Today, two major sites took steps towards closing off their walled gardens even more.

#Reddit's revised #API pricing came into effect, and #Twitter now requires a login for viewing public tweets (breaking all Twitter embeds worldwide)

While I can snark and say "and nothing of value was lost", that's not true at all. Reams of good, valuable content (admittedly amidst a lot of trash) is now locked away, essentially forever.

Reject walled gardens, reject #enshittification, embrace open source.

nodebb, 11 months ago to fediverse

Mea culpa time — you might've heard that we're hacking away (in the best sense of the word) at #ActivityPub support in #NodeBB, but it turns out someone asked for it back in 2019 and it got zero buy-in from our founders 😥

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/8095

But hey, at least we're getting to it, 3.5 years later 😃

We've been on Twitter for over ten years now. This account has been on #Mastodon for close to two months.

I've seen more engagement in those two months (hell, even just this past week) than I have in all of those ten years on Twitter.

Maybe there's something to this #fediverse thing after all 😉 — just saying.

nodebb, 11 months ago to RedditMigration

With all this #RedditMigration going on, there's been a renewed interest in #forums, especially with #activitypub integration.

We've got @devnull working on it. I'm hoping we don't miss the boat by the time it can be rolled out, but we want to do right by the #fediverse and come out swinging with a highly interoperable frontend to the fediverse-at-large.

Stay tuned here for more info as the story (and branch) develops!

Check this out! Some enterprising individuals have taken it upon themselves to try to get #NodeBB working with @tigrisdata!

This is the kind of #flexibility we're famous for 🙂
