Sorry I don’t have an answer to your question at the moment but I just would like to add that I, too am implementing activitypub in my blog and if you’d like to chat my DMs are open :)

Hello from the interwebz. All your base are belong to us
@zoldyck@lemmy.world lol, jokes on you, we dont have any members yet haha. Or from a different perspective: all of the fediverse userbase belongs to us. . . 😈
Hello from my freshly set-up PieFed instance! Let's see if this comment reaches you... :-)
It's me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!
Hello you!
Hello! Replying from an Mbin instance. First time I think I've seen a forum software actually federate out! Curious how it looks on your side
[This reply is from Lemmy] I replied from Mastodon, but can't see my reply on Lemmy 🤔
I see your reply on lemmy!
Thank you for letting me know! If this was the reply you mean, then unfortunately it was from Lemmy :( I still can't see the reply I sent from Mastodon. Maybe just using the "reply" button there isn't enough?
You might have to tag the community for it to show up.
Actually I fear that if I tag the community, my reply might appear as a new post in the community, rather than a reply in a previous post.
According to this source it may happen that replies from Mastodon simply don't show up.
as long as it's a reply to another post I've never seen that happen when mentioning the community. What the linked post says is certainly true though, the federation between some platforms like Lemmy or WP and Mastodon doesn't always seem to be as solid as it is between Mastodon instances or even other platforms that regularly interact with Mastodon.
You were perfectly right, it worked! 🥳 Thank you so much for this extremely useful advice!
OK let me try replying from Mastodon then. If I get it correctly now, the important point is to include also a reference to the community. So now I add that and let's see... Sorry for using your post for this test.
Thanks for the tip! let me try that :)
(sorry, thought you were OP)
Hello from Lemmy.world
Well, nice to see this post come up. Hello!
@julian@activitypub.space hello! And I must say, thank you for patiently answering all my nodeBB questions lately! You've been a real help :)
Also, thank you for creating this wonderful open source software!
Did you document the setup? I'm interested in hosting this.
NodeBB seems like a really cool thing. Forums never should have been abandoned!
USEnet would like a word.
It may want a word but what it has are binaries :)
Woohoo forums!!
> @anthony@forum.unfinishedprojects.net said in This is a federated test post from a nodeBB forum.: > > [Edit] does anybody know if nodeBB has a way to prevent federated upvotes from contributing to forum member specific reputation points?
I didn't see this edit until just now.
Ah... no, this is not available, but if it is important to you, I would recommend you open a GitHub issue. This could be something toggleable by admins.
@julian@activitypub.space Thank you - I'll think on it a bit, and possibly do that. I appreciate the reply!
That's terrific! Gotta get to nodeBB
Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.
It's a linear view, in case you were wondering

Hello world!
I see you, wetlander
May you find water and shade
What is nodeBB? A lemmy or piefed alternative or a whole different thing altogether?
@testaccount372920@piefed.zip it's forum software. So I'm building a standalone forum, but am going to have a few categories that connect to the fediverse for communities that complement ours :)
Traditional, old school forums.
They've been around forever but just recently become federated software.
