@raginghungrypanda@lemm.ee for discovery, the best looking up-and-coming solution is Ghost. They've been around for a decade plus, but they're actively working on their ActivityPub integration.
Early looks at their discovery reader is really promising. A separate tab for "Article" type posts, and another for "feed" type posts.
A lot of the other long form softwares are aligning on the standard that Ghost will try to set... NodeBB, WriteFreely, WordPress, etc. They've all signalled compatibility with each other, which is great!
For more, see @index@activitypub.ghost.org
@dannyboy@sh.itjust.works me too! The fact that I wasn't alone in making this mistake kind of goes to show the kind of people on fedi lol
@fxomt@lemm.ee this summary is gold.
I can't even be mad, though. Mastodon said "if you build it they will come", and then someone came and built something that consumed that exported data. So, it worked.
and... "if you build it they will come" has been NodeBB's MO for the better part of a decade, so I guess I'm even being a little hypocritical here.
@weekinfediverse@mitra.social Interesting article by @db0@dbzer0.com about the future of forums and federation.
A little disappointed that only Discourse was mentioned, but I guess I need to make a bigger impact hehe
