Hello, I’m currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I’d appreciate it. :)
[Edit] does anybody know if nodeBB has a way to prevent federated upvotes from contributing to forum member specific reputation points?
We need more forums again!
How does federation work? Do you subscribe to a community or something and it appears as a forum subsection? Likewise how do you post to a community, magazine, whatever mastodon has etc?
I put together a brief explainer here 🙂

@4am@lemmy.zip This forum is still a work in progress, but you can see at the bottom I have some communities in the “Federated Communities” to test it out.
From there, each topic is an individual post from the community.
