I recently discovered NodeBB can federate and started hunting for interesting instances. I’m into tech, literature, and indie games but haven’t found an instance that fits. Could anyone recommend NodeBB instances with active communities focused on those topics? Thanks!
I checked some of the forums in the link (https://nodebb.fediverse.observer/list) you posted, but it’s hard to tell what most of those NodeBB instances are actually for: many lack descriptions and the forum names don’t say much. I would have to read a few posts in each forum to figure out what each one is for. I found a literature forum but it only has three posts, I don’t want to make an account just to shout into the void, so I’m trying to post to it from Lemmy.
I tried posting to the literature community I found via Lemmy but the post never showed up on the NodeBB instance. I used Lemmy’s search with the target community URL (https://community.darkscribes.com/category/2/general-discussion), it found the community, and I created a post from Lemmy (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/54997372). I can see the post on Lemmy but not on the target NodeBB instance. Any idea why that might be or how to get Lemmy posts to appear on federated NodeBB forums?
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that… unfortunately debugging server-to-server interactions is kind of tough. It should work though, so I don’t know why it didn’t… yet. It could be their version of NodeBB isn’t up to date enough.
[email protected] [email protected] are you able to weigh in and let me know the NodeBB version? Could also be a privileges issue with the
fediversepseudo-user.
