Just starting with using ActivityPub

I wanted to say thank you again for everything you guys have done and continue to do for the nodebb world.

You (@julian, @baris, and everyone that has contributed), have been on my short list of real heroes over the past decade and have made a profound impact in the lives of the regulars on https://kubuckets.com

We recently bumped up from v1.13.1 to the latest and greatest nodebb. I ended up "archiving" the old board by linking to it in categories and giving it a different domain name. I manually copied over some of the mongo data to preserve the user data and force reset everyones password. It was a bumpy road that led to a beautiful place

After reading Enshittification per my brothers recommendation in November, I started digging into the fediverse, and suddenly @julian popped up everywhere. It's serendipitous and a small world after all. I intend to fully explore what I can do with ActivityPub on https://kubuckets.com and https://unshittified.club in the coming year. I have had a couple failed attempts to link between the two, but I need to get more familiar with how to configure it. I'm hoping that with the fediverse I can grow our user bases a little bit, maybe we can be the first people who discuss sports on the fediverse. Haha. I tried to recruit on reddit a little bit but reddit didn't like that very much and quickly canceled me

Thank you guys! Merry Christmas!

Oh wow. I saw the mention ^ on kubuckets and tapping it from there took me back here. hot damn!

Woh. The reply is visible here too! Don't mind me. lolol. Awesomeness.

Hey @approxinfinity@community.nodebb.org! Long time no see

You guys will always have a special place in our hearts, because you were one of the very first people who put their trust in NodeBB.

Waaaaayyyy back when we were a scrappy little forum project run by a couple of guys, you trusted NodeBB to power your forum. I think that probably makes kubuckets.com one of the oldest NodeBB forums still running (although I think community.nodebb.org probably beats you by a bit)!

That you've discovered ActivityPub on your own and found the NodeBB connection is just great we're around as always to give you a hand!
