   The free open source forum software NodeBB is now working on official Fediverse support. Federation isn't ready yet, but if this interests you, you might want to follow their account:

   ➡️ @nodebb

   Their official website is at https://nodebb.org and the co-founder of NodeBB is at @devnull

     Yeah, this is a similar model to how many FOSS projects work. The software itself is totally free, but development is partially funded by people who want to use the developers' hosting and/or tech support services.

     The idea is to help keep the free service going by offering extra services to those who can pay.

     @feditips @nodebb @devnull

     It’s absolutely their right and choice, but this is very commercial pricing. I wonder how it will hold up after federation and more implementations. I want to see entry level community pricing for these kinds of products. cc @atomicpoet.

     @shoq @feditips @nodebb @devnull @atomicpoet My understanding is those are the prices where they are doing the hosting and include daily backups. Software is free for all who want to install and host themselves.

     A lot of Fedi platforms support RSS too, for example you can follow Mastodon accounts by adding .rss to the URL of their profile, PeerTube has an RSS option in its subscribe button, and Friendica has extensive RSS support including using Friendica accounts as feed readers.

     @feditips this and Discourse, very neat!
     I personally am a gal of RSS, but more access is better.

     Thanks @feditips for the shout-out, and an enthusiastic welcome to all of our new followers! @devnull is working on our #ActivityPub support out in the open, and updates will come from this (nodebb) account.

     We're excited for what the #fediverse represents, and can't wait to have our software (developed over a decade OUTSIDE of the fediverse) take its first baby steps into this new world 🌎
