With all this #RedditMigration going on, there's been a renewed interest in #forums, especially with #activitypub integration.
We've got @devnull@crag.social 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!

@tchambers@indieweb.social @devnull@crag.social 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 🤞

@jdp23@indieweb.social @narF@mstdn.ca @devnull@crag.social 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.
A worthy cause. 💯
Broken federation due to CloudFlare?
It looks like right now NodeBB instances are unable to query anything from aussie.zone because of the CloudFlare bot protection.
Could this be adjusted to allow ActivityPub-style requests through?
Replying to
@lodion@aussie.zone The instance I noticed this on was activitypub.space. It is still not able to access content from aussie.zone.
It sets `NodeBB/ (url)` in its user agent.
