Using NodeBB for Drupal Comments?
-
Was wondering if anyone had even thought of, let alone used NodeBB for Drupal comments? I kinda like the idea of using it instead of the default comment system. It allows some more finer discussion control I think, while keeping unneeded people from having accounts on the content pages.
Is this even possible like I am thinking?

@CWSmith you know what's funny is that ActivityPub might come to Drupal in 2025/2026. A project has been funded to do that, which means you could technically have NodeBB provide comments without having to directly tie it to Drupal... Although I guess that's not directly answering your question

@cwsmith@community.nodebb.org in D7, there was https://www.drupal.org/project/phpbbforum. Not exactly what you were thinking as it still reqired Drupal accounts, but if you combine that approach with the session sharing suggestion in https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15316/can-nodebb-be-embedded-into-an-existing-website you'd basically have https://www.drupal.org/project/disqus without the 3rd party dependency.
I don't know much about nodebb, but I know a lot about Drupal. I'm happy to help with that side if you decide to do this.

@kreynen@kbin.melroy.org thoughts on this NLNet project that got recently funded?

@cwsmith@community.nodebb.org also since I'm assuming https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18651/using-nodebb-for-drupal-comments is you. I don't have an account on nodebb.org to respond, Drupal is already active in several federated spaces. There is drupal.community on Mastodon and https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub.
There were also /drupal subs/communities/magazines in the Mbin/Lemmy space during the Reddit revolt, but those never managed to hit critical mass and died on the vine. There is a small group talking about trying this again, but starting our own MBin instance instead... now that it is clear MBin will survive Kbin being abandoned.

It is going to take me awhile to start assuming everything is federated. I didn't need a nodebb account.
It is odd that I have to created an account or authorize authentication through a big tech option (Google, Facebook, X, GitHub (Microsoft))

@Kevin-Reynen @kreynen@kbin.melroy.org no need to create a local account (although appreciated) as you can reply directly on kbin
