Arachni-forum

Just to say there are a lot of things NodeBB is getting right, in comparison to other Federated sites.
Mastodon is ok in some respects but when replies to threads come through the response comes in the feed alone and out of context. Nodebb shows the thread in World which is far better for following the discussion.
As for Lemmy, not sure if the instance Im on is not updated to latest version, but some things dont work well.
@Julian I only heard about Lemmy via you .. (Sometimes I wish Id never gone there lol)
It is good for searching, but its been problematic in other areas. Do you know who codes Lemmy and do they visit here, or is it someone in your federation network?

@Kichae Yes Lemmy isnt showing the posts in order it has them listed as x minutes ago! So thats something their end.
It may be the instance Im on hasnt updated and its been corrected since.

So 3/3 there, messages received and replies worked.

@niels This is useful question.
I've joked in the past that 'this Federation is great, when it works!'
Im not being negative at all, it quite complicated to always collate everything. Part of the problem is that although the ActivityPub is a 'standard' the other softwares have their own ways and interpretations.
As a test Im cc'ing another couple of accounts at different places, to see what arrives

If a site has a 'niche' theme and you want to find people with likeminded interests out in the Fediverse, the searching would be useful.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Mastodon doesn't seem to have categories, Ive only seen it on Lemmy.
In a way a category on Lemmy is like a nodebb instance, as most nodebb instances are for a certain area.
So one might argue that posting on a particular nodebb forum is akin to posting on a Lemmy category?
