- I really appreciate the OpenWrt forum but also like using an ActivityPub based account to browse posts on topics I am interested in.
I understand that forum OpenWrt uses Discourse which has some capabilities to integrate with activityPub services and have suggested in the forum that they are used but there doesn’t seem to be much enthusiasm to do so.
Im probably not good at promoting the benefits or addressing points of concern.
What are people’s thoughts?
Say that the same way they allow for use of a GitHub account to login, they can do the same for ActivityPub and also as a bonus, it would allow new interfaces such as being able to use the Lemmy apps to access the forums, this enabling members a choice in how to be better engaged.
@sabreW4K3 ActivityPub integration is quite different though . Replies from other servers wont come back via that Plugin from what I can see.
You sure? Because they’re supposed to. I can reply to something on a NodeBB forum from my Lemmy app just fine.
@sabreW4K3 I understand the Discource plugin isnt full ActivityPub functionality. (e.g I dont think.Discourse handles threaded responses)

NodeBB has the best implementation it seems.
@sabreW4K3 Ok. But the Openwrt forum uses #Discourse - I don’t think asking the OpenWrt forum to replatform to #NodeBB is a good approach.
Oh for sure. But the Discourse team is in a group with the NodeBB developer, so maybe things will improve as they see the benefits of a more full implementation.
