I mean, we got Kbin, Lemmy, PieFed, NodeBB, stuff like that. What else do they have on the fediverse that's like that?

Whoa, thank you! Flarum is federated? I had no idea, that's amazing!

Unfortunately it actually isn't. NodeBB (me!) and Discourse are the only two forums that federate.

NodeBB has full two-way support with discovery features, Discourse is mostly broadcast-style (i.e. you can't find Lemmy posts from Discourse)

Is there a pretty list of federated NodeBB forums anywhere? I like to check out which ones are listed on fedidb every now and then, but it's not the most convenient list as the topic of the forum is often obscure based on its name.

(I really enjoy being able to follow and participate in communities in forums around the web - thanks for making it possible!)

Oh discourse federates? Thats awesome

They had plans for it and afaik even got a NLnet grant, but life got in the way, so it is likely not going to happen soon.

Thanks for the update - it looks like I need to stop spreading misinformation. Sigh, and Loops as well - people like to generate all this excitement but actually delivering is a whole other matter:-(.

Loops is newly funded, so that round is still active. I still wouldn't get hype about it until it happens though! 😉

Ooh, interesting. Thanks for the heads-up:-)
