NodeBB and Threads

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

@scott@loves.tech correct, and while NodeBB has one for publicly available content /api/recent, it doesn't have one for ActivityPub content... but that can be amended.

However I can't fault Threads for this too much considering that it's not really their job to research every implementor and find their public feeds. I simply am surprised by the short-sightedness of assuming that hasMastondonApi == AP server. Most other software would've looked at the problem, realized that the fediverse doesn't consist solely of Mastodon, and approached the problem from a different angle.

... but then again maybe I'm wrong

@bh4-tech just my test server, bb.devnull.land. Considering there aren't many NodeBB servers federating, it's not a surprise

Will this comment federate?

@julian I think that they are prioritizing big players. Mastodon is an obvious priority. They are working with Bridgy Fed to connect with Bluesky. I am sure at some point they will have to support WordPress' ActivityPub implementation. Smaller players won't get as much attention, at least for now.

I see it on Hubzilla.

@Scott M. Stolz Like a diaspora* dev once said: Threads didn't "implement ActivityPub", they "implemented Mastodon".

It indeed does to Lemmy.

although NodeBB users don't see context unless you quote them

@die4ever@programming.dev it's something I've been thinking about addressing as well.

Theoretically one could display a quote above the post, but I wouldn't want it to be confused with a quote post, which is a different beast (and one not present in forums) altogether.
