Hi @leroy, here's the state of forum software in the #fediverse

@nodebb currently is pursuing full federation (user actors, category actors, possibly topic actors) with an alpha by end of Q1.

#Discourse has a third party dev working on their implementation but it is currently category actors only (broadcasting content out to the fediverse)

#Flarum has received funding but I am not aware of any implementation yet. However @luceos would be the person to ask about this.

@devnull @leroy @nodebb @multiverseofbadness we have not started the work on the fediverse implementation yet, but it will happen, it will happen in version 2 of Flarum and an implementation will probably be available this year.

@luceos @leroy @nodebb @multiverseofbadness ooooh version 2! That's exciting!

Major version bumps are always given more weight than they ought to be. What constitutes a bump to v2, what makes it in and doesn't? Oof.

Looking forward to seeing Flarum continue to give us a run for our money 🙂
