@j12t@j12t.social what I loved most about this year's FOSDEM was the camaraderie shown by everybody. I told my wife, who isn't plugged into the open social web (yet!) that I was constantly networking, and while that is technically what you would call it, what it really was was a purely organic gathering of like minded individuals, who have never met in real life, who had instant rapport because of the shared values inherent to the fediverse. As the fediverse grows, we'll see this kind of phenomenon happen less and less (see "Eternal September"), but we're at the early stage of the social web where these kinds of things can happen, and when it does, it's amazing. "Networking" at conferences is usually shaking hands and exchanging business cards, and then walking away never to hear from them again.

@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.

@jiejie@mastodon.social good question! The answer ultimately lies in how you want to communicate with your audience. Each option is different and it's hard for you to know which software is the best fit. That's why even when I say NodeBB sits somewhere in between microblogs and blogs, NodeBB might not be the right solution, yeah? What kind of site do you want to build, how in depth do you want to go, etc.?

@naturzukunft@mastodon.social just give up and embrace the fact that any given ID might not resolve, either temporarily or permanently.

@eeeee I believe LemmyBB was a proof-of-concept, to show that Lemmy as it existed back then was able to be represented in the front-end as a tradtional forum. But also, nutomic (who may have made LemmyBB? not sure.) is a busy person who has a day job and doesn't work on lemmy full-time

@silverpill@mitra.social thanks! Been waiting for a document like this to come out.

@mariusor@metalhead.club @silverpill@mitra.social nomadic identity as I understand it allows you to keep your ID if you switch instances, which is similar but not the same as being able to log into and use Site A using an account from Site B.

@evan@cosocial.ca cool! TIL, although I don't think it's applicable for me.
