NodeBB Groups
Software for groups-based communities in the Fediverse
Facilitating the needs of groups and communities requires specific functionality which isn't widely available outside of a limited set of proprietary platforms such as Facebook Groups. Due to the current geopolitical situation, this lack of functionality keeps people that want to migrate away from such platforms locked in.
The ActivityPub powered NodeBB project provides a strong basis of community forum software, which could be a decentralised alternative to corporate owned and operated social media. This project will help NodeBB to implement many of the missing features -- polls, marketplace, location-aware services -- and build a migration tool, to facilitate adoption and grant users choice and data portability.
