Forum software, allows for you to change domain names.
That is something Fediverse software, truly, should work on.

WoltLab Burning Board is a forum software developed by developers for developers, as well as business class support forums in mind. -- Discourse was not the right choice.
WoltLab's framework is free open source, too. Granted, the forum is paid, but it would have been a better option.

Hey, yeah, anyone who thinks forums are dead? Google seems to have just added a dedicated search category for them. Even Google knows what's up.
Forums are forever. Or at least as "forever" as the Internet gets.
Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Internet #forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and #Discord. And that's worrying.
For years now, the conversation has moved to social media and new platforms.
But many of them are closed and not indexed in search engines.
#Reddit has become the great global discussion forum, but that has its dangers.

The upcoming possibility of browsing to remote federated categories/communities has me thinking about interesting use cases for it.
Note that Lemmy, PieFed, mBin, and other "community-centric" software already do support this, so it's nothing new, I'm actually playing catch-up.
One interesting use case centers around NodeBB's /unread route, which tracks new topics since your last visit. Since ever, and even now in v4, this is only for local categories, but if you're able to "subscribe" to a remote category, then we could enable use of this page for that content too.
Think about waking up and seeing a self-curated feed of new content from your subscribed communities! There are some interesting parallels to RSS here, too.
What other forum-centric use cases do you think would be enhanced by the ability to browse remote categories?
"A vast, decentralized network of personal #blogs, #forums, and independent #communities has been corralled into a handful of paved #prisonyards controlled by a few massive corporations.
The fediverse is a #jailbreak. It’s not something you can buy stock in or use to enrich yourself at the cost of our shared humanity."

MastodonJA Westenberg (@Daojoan@mastodon.social)The fediverse is an ecosystem where you - not some incellionaire obsessed with eugenics - own your digital identity.
Where your social graph belongs to you, not an algorithm’s shifting fucking whims.
Where moving from one service to another doesn’t mean losing everything you’ve built and everything you’ve ever said.

Welcome to the internet's premier black hole of riveting #geometry #discussions, where #cubits and the #golden #ratio collide with the excitement of a #damp #sponge. 
It’s like reading a manifesto on ancient units of measure, but with the added thrill of getting lost in a never-ending forum sign-in maze.

#LibreTips : Ça fait longtemps que le #Firefox que j'utilise sous #Linux Mint (et précédemment sous #Manjaro) était très très long à démarrer (premier démarrage à froid). Je m'étais documenté sur les #forums et j'avais essayé plein de trucs, sans succès. Et puis je suis tombé sur : "mettre un autre thème que le thème sombre original de #Mozilla", et, tadaaa ! C'est résolu ! Firefox démarre désormais très rapidement à froid

"Man, I really miss forums" - seen this lately? I wrote about why forums still matter in 2025, how we lost searchable knowledge to closed social platforms, and what the future might hold for online communities. Not just nostalgia - it's about preserving accessible knowledge for everyone.

Opensource Forum Software NodeBB Joins the Fediverse #announcements #forums #nodebb #nodejs #opensource #releases #decentralization #discussion_forums #federation #fediverse #forum
https://ostechnix.com/nodebb-joins-fediverse/
OSTechNix · Opensource Forum Software NodeBB Joins the Fediverse - OSTechNixOne of the popular opensource forum software NodeBB, is joining the fediverse. Starting with NodeBB v4.0.0, federation is a core feature.
If you're hankering after old-style forums, you might want to check out @nodebb which is now Fediverse compatible.
It means you can have the old style forum atmosphere, but also the modern style connections to a wider audience (but that part is optional of course 
).
Personally, I think that federated forums are the future of the fediverse.
Because anyone can join the fediverse and there is no centralized control, that means you are exposed to all types of people and content. But forums typically have membership requirements, community rules, and moderators. Since a lot of people are looking for a safe space, the safest space would be a fediverse-enabled forum that controls who can be a member and that moderates posts within the forum.
It also creates a sense of community that social media does not create. If you are looking for like-minded people, they are most likely to hang out in forums that have a specific topic, theme, or community. That makes it easier to discover new people to follow and interact with.
Combine federated social media and federated forums, and you have a powerful combination.
