Lemmy shows how Fediverse-connected message boards can work. So is it time for a Fediverse-connected general purpose message board platform (like phpBB)? Is anyone working on this? (lemmy.ml)

I'll elaborate on my thoughts further in my reply below, but I'm keen to hear what everyone thinks of this concept

The pavilion plugin was promised ages ago though no?

I was hoping discourse would actually integrate it as a first class part of the application but they seem to be shy of it. And with no solid plugin to serve as a proof of concept it doesn't feel like the issue will be resolved anytime soon.

Furthermore there seems to be a real problem with how to treat identity in the fediverse. I feel like that problem is still unresolved. I hear people talking about did etc but I'm not educated on the matter well enough to really say much about it.

Pavilion had early plans to create a plugin, and applied for a NLnet grant. When that wasn't accepted they put their plans in the freezer. It is only recently, after The Muskening™ that they picked up on it again.

See this post on the Discourse Meta forum about the plans.
