Chebucto Regional Softball Club

Just gotta say -- and I know I'm pulling OT a bit here -- but watching a Mastodon thread play out in a proper forum UI is kind of magical.

[@rynach@mstdn.io](https://community.nodebb.org/user/rynach%40mstdn.io) Lemmy isn't a forum, though. There's much more to being a forum than just having *topics*. Basic moderation tools (like post splitting, merging) etc. are lacking, and more advanced features that have been longtime standards on forums are totally absent. The UX is that of Reddit, and Reddit is as much a forum as Twitter is a blog. And LemmyBB hasn't been updated in iver 2 years. Does it even work with the current back end?

I tried to sync [@testing@chebucto.club](https://community.nodebb.org/user/testing%40chebucto.club) with @testing-ground.

[@julian](https://community.nodebb.org/user/julian) said in [Is ActivityPub too complicated?](/post/102887): > Let me look into nodebb-to-nodebb folllowing, that definitely should be working! Have you had a chance to verified that it is? Because I'm getting a never-ending Pending status when trying to sync to @testing-ground. Things federate fine, but without the syncing being established, they either don't get addressed to my instance, or are dumped into /world if I specifically reference someone on my site. And it's a little weird that they're not all ending up in /world, because I have an account that's following @testing-ground.

Hmm. It did not. [@mrjafo@chebucto.club](https://community.nodebb.org/user/mrjafo%40chebucto.club) test?

Confirmed not auto-syncing with @testing@chebucto.club. This mention should force the sync.

This topic should be auto-syncing with my own, but I don't think the handshake has completed successfully. Let's see if this shows up.

Pushed out just fine. Let's see the return.
