Maybe but again I don't think that fuller implementation of ActivityPub by Discourse is the issue that is holding back OpenWrt forum from allowing some federation.
Perhaps some positive comments from ActivtyPub users on the OpenWrt fourm discussion might help encourge the admins to consider using the Discource Plugin
Well the plugin is readily available https://discourse.org/plugins/activitypub
So it's just a case of whether they think the added work vectors are worth it
@sabreW4K3 Yeah I started a discussion about using that functionality and then joined this conversation. . forum.openwrt.org/t/need-a-mas…
I didn't get the whole thing where someone said being able to respond sounds fishy. Though it's probably best to talk about it as a single sign on service.
@sabreW4K3 I was unsure how to approach it since talking about single signon suggests that management of user accounts is taken out of the control of the moderators.
I tried to talk about it as one way publication - the comments don't come back to the forum . but failed.
I think there is just a lack of understanding of ActivityPub and the plugin generally
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.
