@nhl.pl Testing mentions

@nhl.pl was not able to mention you earlier, works now. Needed to rename your account so the slug was resaved.

In China, quite a few people recommend NodeBB because its name sounds a lot like the popular internet slang 'NO CAN NO BB' that we often use.

But in reality, not many webmasters actually use it.

(Maybe...because there's less documentation available in Chinese. I think)

Domestic webmasters tend to prefer simpler and easier-to-use setups like PHP with MySQL or programs based on Python.

@juse
Tonal language so I guess you have many meaning for NodeBB. But still it was interesting to read. Thank you.

When it comes to alternatives. For me NodeBB is easier to setup than other projects based on different technologies. Reason for that is simple. I have practiced it a lot.

I agree with this

I chose NodeBB because I was impressed by how easy it is to set up, and the features it offers already meet my needs for a BBS.

Plus, it stands out from the typical PHP websites, and that uniqueness can really spark people's desire to explore

Pessimistically speaking, in today's internet environment, web1.5-era BBS platforms that still operate on a centralized distribution model have indeed fallen by the wayside. A site that can still spark people's curiosity and desire to explore is therefore all the more precious.

As you see I'm trying to support project. Translating new lang strings and looking for bugs and other issues.

You can probably help with documentation for Chinese users.

There's an author of Chinese documentation for NodeBB on GitHub,
you can find it here: NodeBB-China/NodeBB-China

However, I'm not sure why it hasn't been updated in a long time.

My coding skills are pretty basic,so I probably wouldn't be up to the task of maintaining it

Most of the time, I rely on AI Q&A to help me with website development" />" />" />" />" />" />

All I can do is engage with everyone when I'm not work,

and provide suggestions on areas where I think the Chinese translations for NodeBB need improvement.

Or, I can submit pull requests on GitHub when I have something to contribute.

Good. Looks like you're really productive, effective and helpful. Thank you for contributing to NodeBB project.

@nhl.pl Thank you for your encouragement

From which part of China you're from? As I only talked to the ones who lives near to the capital city.

I should delete my Discourse forum, that I can install nodeBB.... I find nodeBB more simple than Discourse....

@kainos lower resource usage too!

@julian Tell me when is release from v4, is there new Design, or only some changes?

@kainos v4 will contain only ActivityPub features. There are no design changes besides what is already done in v3.x

@julian Ok, than we wait on v5 for new Design and functions.

@nhl.pl I'm in Tianjin, 200km from the capital, Beijing.
