I suspect most of the federation problems mentioned in the last few posts are the "fault" of Discourse – BrowserPub fails to find anything at https://browser.pub/https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/explaining-the-fediverse-is-a-hard-problem/4462/4 – but in the end the user doesn't care whose fault it is when something doesn't work, they just think federation is confusing and broken.

Explaining the fediverse is a hard problem. -
Explaining the fediverse is a hard problem.@eeeee The lack of complete federation is another very good point that makes federation less-than-intuitive. From my Mastodon instance the situation is worse, none of @bumblefudge posts nor any others from SocailHub appear in the thread. (See https://indieweb.social/@julian@community.nodebb.org/112972609579702339)

Documentation re: ActivityPub integration in NodeBB@julian I'm curious what it means that my post was "boosted" by @activitypub. I guess it's because this post is in the ActivityPub category, but what are the actual mechanics of that which show up on the Mastodon side as a boost?

Documentation re: ActivityPub integration in NodeBB@julian This is exciting! Is it compatible with Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin? And what about any other forum software, such as Discourse with the ActivityPub plugin?
I'd like to see some info in the docs about how to use it from a user point of view. For example how do I find a thread on another forum (or Mastodon etc) and reply to it from NodeBB?
