agreed, use syncthing (which I think @nutomic@lemmy.ml also works on!) and call it a day. @mariusor@metalhead.club @reiver@mastodon.social

@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

@julian @rolle every instance has a public timeline.It would have just made it so I don't have to go to mastodon.social, which would be VERY nice.

@tukine@fedibird.com thank you for your kind words! You are right, regular users cannot create categories, but I am hoping that this is something that can be changed, so someone can make a Reddit-like site and empower users to create their own communities easily.

@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

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.
