When we found out what @linc@phpc.social we immediately reached out and hoped to get something worked out. This was a couple years back, around the time I started looking into AP. Each forum company treats their migration scripts as proprietary product, because it literally gives end users the means to migrate away to competitors. It also means they’re usually janky as hell and each company has to come up with their own bespoke migration logic. My end goal with NodeBB wasn’t to destroy my competition (although that’d be a nice side effect), it was to improve the forum UX and encourage adoption of forums as a whole. Up until the 2010s, forums were unequivocally dying as a form of communication. It was an existential rationale! So Lincoln’s work only helps further that goal. We’ve been trying to find paying clients to help fund Linc’s work (to build out the NodeBB target), but those customers are very far and few between. That’s why there hasn’t been movement until @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl came in with the Open Social Fund. cc @benpate@mastodon.social
