I'm genuinely interested in people thoughts about the Fediverse because here in the UK it has massively stalled in 2025, like a lot of things. I am seeing way less posts from UK people and way less interaction and general use in fact. Most seem to have stopped social media use to be fair, and I know a lot of that is to do with my age (old fart here, 56 laps round sun and counting) but the numbers game look poor from my point of view. Do we think the Fediverse has a future now after useage appears to be going downwards? Is it a UK thing? (well I know the UK is weird but hey)

What’s nodebb? I thought it was like a deadish lemmy clone but it seems to be the second most popular software here?

It's old traditional forum software, they recently added ActivityPub support

Interesting. So like federated foss xenforo?

Yeah I think so, although I'm not familiar with Xenforo.

Oh wow this is cool!

I have one last question. How do you see other servers from one nodebb forum. I can’t find lemmy for example when scrolling through a nodebb instance.

Actually I'm not sure that's possible yet! Seems like you have to use Lemmy or something to browse them in that way.
