@reiver@mastodon.social reach out to @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl, they had lanyards at FOSDEM, maybe they'll send some over as FediCon swag

@AltCode are you still having issues with @deadsuperhero@forum.wedistribute.org's posts? I am able to see the post content here. Is it still blank for you?

@raginghungrypanda@lemm.ee for discovery, the best looking up-and-coming solution is Ghost. They've been around for a decade plus, but they're actively working on their ActivityPub integration. Early looks at their discovery reader is really promising. A separate tab for "Article" type posts, and another for "feed" type posts. A lot of the other long form softwares are aligning on the standard that Ghost will try to set... NodeBB, WriteFreely, WordPress, etc. They've all signalled compatibility with each other, which is great! For more, see @index@activitypub.ghost.org

@malte@radikal.social yes! I've been working on it all year, and so the two-way federation is live already. It is enabled by default on new installs.

@altcode@social.vivaldi.net from what I can tell and from the people I've spoken to, the backend migration is the meat and potatoes of it all, and so the front-end would hopefully remain unchanged. It's one of those huge migrations where if everybody does everything perfectly, nobody will have known anything had happened at all

@jonny@neuromatch.social sure! NodeBB has it working now if you want to poke around on BrowserPub, just paste a topic URL into it. v4.0.0 can pull entire topics in already (assuming the remote end supports it.) When v4.1 drops you'll be able to do this via the topic URL itself.

Hi @robz@toot.robzazueta.com! (Thanks @beaware@social.beaware.live for bringing this to my attention) You're right, our website is more about our self-service hosting option, and that's because that's what pays our day-to-day bills. It's an unfortunate reality of the open-source development model. The project itself is licensed under GPLv3 and has always been this way. Your concerns over Automattic are well-founded and they also worry me. That said, NodeBB is free and open-source, and you are encouraged to self-host it. That has been our mantra from day one, and still remains that way today.

@marym@my-place.social please do keep asking questions! I'd love the opportunity to address this in full on another day, but you're right that it's a significant part of the fediverse that is currently lacking. It's one of those hard problems I'd love to tackle with @nodebb@fosstodon.org as well! cc @2kkyle@twit.social @feditips@social.growyourown.services
