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!
@nodebb@devnull@jdp23 I heard that Discourse is working on their implementation. Maybe you could work in this together?
One thing though: make sure you have really good moderation tools! Because with great Fediverse powers comes great responsibility! (To protect your users against harassment, trolls and spam)
@narF This is one of the intriguing things to me about @nodebb et al coming to the fediverse, they've developed good mod tools over the years and that could be a big help here! @devnull
@jdp23@narF@devnull indeed! We've worked with big AAA gaming companies to really build out our moderation tooling. Both #Bethesda and #Ubisoft collaborated with us to improve our flagging and user mod tools, and the challenge with #ActivityPub is figuring out how to federate these tools.
@nodebb@jdp23@narF Note that @nodebb said collaborated, past tense. We lost both those companies to what I feel is an inferior communication product, but this is not the forum (ha ha get it) to discuss that particular grievance 😉
@tchambers@devnull Yes sir! We're a forum software that predates /kbin and possibly Lemmy. Been in active development outside the realm of the #fediverse until this year, so we're doing the work to figure out just how AP can work with our existing schema and expectations. So far a lot of the concepts are identical 🤞
Keep me in the loop, always looking for new cool fedivere enabled apps.
And I totally could imagine the need for more of a full featured forum that does Federation in a first class way. RIght now my main view on that is Discourse with an activitypub plugin.
@tchambers@nodebb I've been vaguely following along, mostly because @smallcircles lets me know when something happens on that front. I honestly wish them the best. If #NodeBB, Discourse, and Flarum all federate, that's only a win for the #fediverse
Thanks @thisismissem — if there's one thing I learned in my month and a half here (👶), it that robust moderation tooling is number one on the feature list after basic #ActivityPub interop support.
@CodexArcanum@nodebb honestly, I don't even know why I didn't think of this sooner. I organically came up with the idea of federating forums, did about 2 seconds of research, and ended up on #ActivityPub / #Mastodon, and it's been a wild ride since.
