in reply to Stephan Löttgen • • •Your Mastodon account only works on your Mastodon server.
But you can interact with people from other types of servers, for example you can click on @julian and reply to their posts or follow their account. They are on NodeBB.

in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •Can this kind of community form be operated like a private Facebook group? Obviously any messages in a hypothetical "closed" forum would not federate, while stuff posted on a public forum would... but is there such a thing as a closed forum?
Still looking for a replacement for Facebook groups...

Yeah, I'm just going to keep asking questions, and maybe eventually I will figure something out. There are ALMOST the kind of groups I want... Public groups can be implemented on Mastodon, though it's a little tricky for normies, I think. Private collections of your own contacts can (somehow) be implemented on Friendica - but I still haven't really figured out how. And I consider myself more tech savvy than average. Friendica seems really hard to use.
A private, asynchronous group with people inviting others, where not everyone knows each to start with? I still am not seeing that anywhere in the Fediverse.

Would NodeBB, which now supports ActivityPub, be something that supports asynchronous groups? I'm only mentioning it because it's how someone described NodeBB to me today when I asked how it compared to Lemmy/Piefed/MBIN. Beyond this, I don't know much about it.
