NodeBB joined the Fediverse

NodeBB just joined the Fediverse, the open social web.

What does this mean?
The Fediverse includes platforms like Mastodon (a decentralized X rival), Pixelfed (an open Instagram alternative), PeerTube (a decentralized YouTube competitor), and more.

These platforms use ActivityPub, a protocol enabling decentralized social networking.

Here’s why NodeBB’s move matters:

:point_right: Forum operators can now integrate seamlessly into this decentralized ecosystem. :point_right: They’ll connect with other forums and platforms like Mastodon—without relying on centralized platforms like X or Meta.

And the best part? It’s not just an add-on. It’s a core feature of NodeBB v4.
