Agree, Discourse, another forum software also works on ActivityPub support. Also NodeBB seems to federate pretty well with MBin, does it federate fine with Lemmy?

Good to see.
In theory, a lot of forum software could bolt ActivityPub on. It should be an interesting time now we have proof of concept.
There is a W3C's SWCG ActivityPub based Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force. The NodeBB forum for it.

Thanks for linking links that work on Lemmy! I'm unsure why mine don't work on it

their server is down right now, but it did federate with lemmy.ml before going down https://lemmy.ml/c/activitypub@community.nodebb.org
https://programming.dev/c/nodebb-development@community.nodebb.org
also you can read their announcement from their Mastodon profile @nodebb@fosstodon.org
edit: it's back up, to see the announcement post in Lemmy format, put this in your Lemmy's search: https://community.nodebb.org/post/102756
it's from !nodebb-development@community.nodebb.org

Is there a secure way to install it? Or does it use npm?
