@haverholm @julian It's indeed usable as CMS. There's of course not that supply of themes and fancy stuff like for WP.

@morph TBF most of the WP themes are bloated frameworks anyway. @julian

@haverholm @julian I saw some amazing sites people have built on their Hubs. BTW ... what is the magic that this thread is located in the activitypub.space #nodebb forum? Didn't the conversation start with a common Mastodon post?

@morph Re: magic sauce — I think it's as simple as me using the ActivityPub hashtag in the original mastodon post? I can't say for certain, just a guess. Or maybe @julian commenting pulled in the thread? Federation, guys. It's weird and wonderful.

@morph I hadn't even seen the forum post version until you mentioned it. Below my toot it says "[#]activitypub shared this topic about _ hours ago", so I suppose it is in fact an automated, hashtag based aggregation? @julian

@morph @julian They haven't federated my edit to the post, though. Now I will always be remembered as the guy who can't tell "to" from "too" 🤣

So, given WP is willing to sell all its users down the river for some quick "AI" buzz, what fedi-enabled alternatives exist for human-centric websites?

@haverholm@radikal.social @morph@morphnet.de heheh yes you're looking at NodeBB, a forum that speaks ActivityPub! It pulled in your thread because you used the ActivityPub hashtag. 🙂 It didn't get your update because I don't follow you 🥲

@julian One thing confuses me a bit. Registration for NodeBB works just locally (with Email, Github, Google etc.) and creates a new AP handle, right? Not by use of your existing one. That's just in use by following the forums' categories. @haverholm

@morph@morphnet.de yes that's correct, you create a new local account. Use of your existing fedi handle is not quite available yet. Requires R&D and implementation from other software, so it's a much bigger lift.
