I want to join the Fediverse. I don’t have a computer or anything to make something like a Lemmy instance, and I found that NodeBB will easily allow you to make a forum quickly, but I have to pay to do so. Should I just pay when I can or is there a free way to make a federated instance on a software?
@CraigCabbage why can’t you? no wifi and no ethernet? how old the computer is ?
IDK, Dad and Grandpa say the computer is too old to access it and he thinks me buying an ethernet cable is useless 😭 The computer is probably 10-13 years old, I’m not sure
@CraigCabbage should be compatible with internet, or if you want you can also buy some old stuff through eBay, its also cheap
Is there any way to federate a ProBoards forum? I made one once and someone said I should federate it
If you go with something that isn’t lemmy/piefed/mbin, you should look into compatibility and project activity very carefully.
@CraigCabbage maybe I don’t know proboards, but you can’t federate it with activitypub
Thanks so much!!
