A tad delayed, given we're already half a year in, but here's a sneak peek of what came out of our 2023 #roadmap meeting!

tl;dr revamped ACP, #activitypub 🌐 refactored chats 📣 and more!

#nodebb #nodebbactivitypub

@shoq when it comes to groups, there are two parallel implementations in @nodebb:

1. "user groups" which — true to name — is a group of users. They can be mentioned in posts and will be notified thusly.

2. Group chats, which function almost exactly like "mentioned-only" visibility in #mastodon. Users are added to the group and messages exchanged only show up to the users in said group.

Is there a third use case you'd like to see, or is it covered in the above?

#fedidev #nodebbActivityPub

Good news! I made my first #ActivityPub follow request!

Bad news, it was to http://127.0.0.1 😞

#fedidev #nodebbActivityPub

I've been musing passively about how I can develop locally while still making #ActivityPub requests in order to test in production, and was pretty close to just deploying my code on a test subdomain (and then making the call to my #Mastodon server — crag.social), but then realized I could just stand up two #NodeBB instances on my machine and have them gab to each other instead 🤖

@multiverseofbadness Unimpenetrable wall of http signature crits you for 100

I have no idea if I did it right, or whether it even verifies, so it's time to build `verify()` and check!

#fedidev #nodebbactivitypub

Don't mind me, just playing with #nodebb natively loading account profiles from federated #Mastodon instances... 😶

Nice looking profiles ya got there, @multiverseofbadness @evan

#fedidev #nodebbactivitypub

Initial federated contact made! My local dev instance has just made its first calls to a remote Mastodon instance (via #WebFinger discovery) to retrieve a remote user account!

One small step for #NodeBB, ah... also one small step for the #Fediverse I guess.
