I have finished writing instructions for deploying lemmyBB on a production server, which you can follow at the link above. Right now the project is still in a very early stage, nevertheless main funcionality is already working. This includes browsing communities, posts and comments, writing posts/comments and registration/login. Before developing the project further, I would like to get some feedback from users and admins.

If you are interested, you can follow the instructions to install lemmyBB on your own server. This setup also installs lemmy-ui, in order to access functionality which is not yet available in lemmyBB (particularly moderation).

You can also try out lemmyBB on a test server with this setup, namely lemmybb.lemmy.ml. It runs lemmy-ui at lemmyui.lemmy.ml, which shows the same data in another format, and the same account login works on both domains. Registrations are currently open, but keep in mind that this instance is only meant for testing, until other instances are created.

If you notice any bugs or want to request new features, please open an issue or comment here.

Another update, i added instructions for running lemmyBB locally. This will let you use it with any existing instance.

This is actually... Really good. Will there be a lemmy.ml prod version hooked up to lemmybb?

@nutomic@lemmy.ml I'm def not opposed to having a lemmybb.lemmy.ml .

We could do that, although im using that particular domain for the test server now.

I don't want to sound rude, but what use are you going to give to this project? Is it supposed to be for users with older web browsers or for users with JavaScript disabled?

That, and also many people prefer the bulletin board "old school internet forum" layout to Reddit-style comment trees

A lot of functionality isnt working, because its not implemented yet. Whenever you end up on a url with .php, thats the case.

Am I right that this is just an optional UI front end, that delivers regular lemmy back end content?

I just noticed this post is a year old
