@julian
Upgrading to 4.02 tonight. Let's see how it federates. Congrats and thank you for your work.

@julian It is interesting to see long form content in the Fediverse. I'm still not used to it.

Pretty cool.

@wall_e@ioc.exchange This is done now, consecutive shares are merged.

Hi from Lemmy

@julian So... I wonder if NodeBB is/can be a Fediverse instance now basically? Meaning, can registered users interact with other Fediverse instances?

I'm considering building a special interest community with NodeBB as a base. But some might want to create and/or embed media content and I'm thinking of using own PeerTube, Pixelfed instances for example for this purpose. Would a NodeBB user be able to interact with them? And can I gate areas from being public? Because of NSFW content.

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

@willi@social.tchncs.de yes to all, NodeBB is a fediverse instance now

@julian That's great! Any tips starting this as cheap as possible and with least amount of caring work? I've read so far you need VPS which is not only costly(?) but also backup etc would be in my hands, right? Would like to avoid that tbh.

[julian@community.nodebb.org]

@willi@social.tchncs.de a VPS can be had from DigitalOcean or Vultr quite economically (although I know that isn't always the case in some countries)
