Fediverse Enhancement Proposals
While the ActivityPub protocol enables NodeBB to connect to the wider fediverse, there have been additional proposals that make the integration richer, both for developers and end-users alike.
There are many proposals currently listed, and not all of them apply to NodeBB or fit with our current roadmap. A list of relevant FEPs, their integration state (if any), and our general sentiment towards them are listed here.
This page is styled in a manner similar to Mozilla's Specification Positions page. We will use the same terms: "positive", "neutral", "defer", and "negative".
