I found this article from earlier this year: https://blog.discourse.org/2025/04/discourse-and-the-fediverse/
However, I haven’t come across that much content from Discourse platforms over here on Lemmy/Piefed. Is there more work to do with the plugins, or should we work with organizations running Discourse to help them connect with us?
For example, the threadiverse communities for OpenStreetMaps is relatively small, and being able to see / contribute to community.openstreetmap.org would be amazing.
Nodebb is the forum that federates
Discourse does too.
TIL!
First of all it’s opt in so they have to enable it. Second it’s currently broken federating with lemmy. I think they developed it with mastodon in mind. I’ve already reported how it doesn’t federate properly to them last year
From a few(3) places that I have asked, It’s either they can’t due to enterprise hosting requirement on discourse servers or they don’t want to due to controversy (CSAM).
I don’t see Discourse on https://fedidb.com/software
It does federate for sure but implementation looks quirky.
