    Maybe a basic question, but Im not sure, until theres a pre-release of Nodebb v4 (which I cant wait for!)
    But will my forum fediverse account be enough for an all in one solution, so I wont necessarily need my Mastodon account too?
    The reason Im asking is because, at times, ideal Mastodon hosts can be hard to find. I ran my own instance for a while, and many signed up - it was bursting at capacity before long ๐Ÿ™‚
    So will a Nodebb v4 forum account be complete enough to be a full fediverse solution for those who use Mastodon etc.
    Can I log into the fediverse mobile apps etc?
    I tried logging into a couple I have on my android phone but it didnt work.
    Not sure what my nodebb fed password is, (is it mirrored from my main account) or how to reset it?

      But will my forum fediverse account be enough for an all in one solution, so I wont necessarily need my Mastodon account too?

      That's a very good question! In short, I intend for NodeBB to become that all-in-one app. It'd be disingenuous of me to say that it is meant to replace Mastodon, because it isn't, it's not even the same classification of software: Mastodon is a microblogging service, NodeBB is a forum.

      However, NodeBB will (or already can):

      • allow you to follow users and see their content
      • contain the ability to discover new content from the fediverse (/world, et al.)
      • have two-way conversations with people from the fediverse

      Additionally, NodeBB will:

      • classify content in topics so they are better organized
      • allow you to move topics into specific categories for further organization

      However, NodeBB might/will not:

      • show posts in a "feed-style" format, at least not with Harmony theme
      • integrate the chat subsystem into the fediverse (this may be better handled via a different protocol like Matrix, Delta, etc.)

      Can I log into the fediverse mobile apps etc?
      I tried logging into a couple I have on my android phone but it didnt work.

      Right now you cannot, and I don't know if you ever will be able to. Those apps either use the Mastodon API (which we don't support for an obvious reason โ€” we're not Mastodon), or the client-to-server protocol subset of ActivityPub, which we do not support yet.

      The login part expects NodeBB to act as an OAuth2 provider, which we also do not do yet.

        Digital Identities arenโ€™t something unique to the fediverse and itโ€™s no something Mastodon could stop if they wanted to. Nomadic identity is coming to the internet. The only question is who is going to own your identity. VISA/Mastercard, your government, Google, Microsoft, or you.

          @nhl.pl not sure how far we'd go but a sensible and safer option would be to allow you to log in via a different instance's username/password, but then you'd maintain your own local identity.

          Just like how existing SSO systems work.

            AT Protocol by Bluesky offers Portable accounts (Change hosts without losing your content, your follows, or your identity) so it will end up in exporting profile at /user/yourusername/consent and using it elsewhere.
