Documentation re: ActivityPub integration in NodeBB

Now that the alpha version of NodeBB v4 has been released, it means that people are starting to look into using NodeBB for testing (or if they're really looking to have fun, production.)

The first step in enabling those intrepid individuals is providing documentation!

While a little bare-bones at the moment, I've written up a brief summary of what NodeBB brings to the ActivityPub landscape, as well as a run-down of various settings/toggles/switches, and how to switch over to the code branch that enables ActivityPub integration.

What I don't know is what's missing. There's a lot about NodeBB's integration that's very obvious to me, since I built it, but what don't you see that you'd like me to write about? Let me know.

Thanks!

Can you provide link to the alpha version please?
I did click on alpha hoping it would take me there 🙂

@eeeee sure! Here are some quick docs I wrote up:

Additional documentation regarding various Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEPs) has been added to the NodeBB documentation re: ActivityPub.

Hi,

I think It would be helpful to include examples of common use cases for ActivityPub integration in NodeBB detailed setup instructions with screenshots and troubleshooting tips for potential issues users might encounter. Additionally a FAQ section addressing common questions could be valuable.

Thanks
