some forums that use NodeBB, will be interesting to see if they enable federation

announcement post from !nodebb-development@community.nodebb.org : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18545/nodebb-v4.0.0-federate-good-times-come-on

Comment below with any other NodeBB communities as people update their servers and enable federation

You can turn federation on and off (and adjust some other fun toggles) directly from ACP > Settings > Federation (ActivityPub).

      Oooh, is it subscribing that starts up federation of community content and not searching for it? For some reason I was under the impression that just putting the !communityname@instance into the search bar did it

        the search should work, but give it time

        I know it says no results found when the local search finishes even though it’s still doing the remote search

        also some apps may not yet support hyphens in community names, but at least it works for me in the web browser

        if the direct link to the announcement wasn’t loading for you, then their server was probably having issues (it was earlier too)

      That’s stupid.

      If Lemmy.World made subscribebot@lemmy.world, whose sole purpose was to subscribe to every single federated community, would that mean Lemmy.World users wouldn’t have this issue?

        correct, that’s basically what https://lemmy-federate.com/ does, it just subscribes for each instance

        Communities in Lemmy/Mbin are not federated by default. So when you create a new community, it will only be available to your instance. At least 1 person from all other instances must follow it in order to make it available. This tool does that. It follows your community from all remote instances until at least 1 other person follows it.
