Catodon can follow and join forums, which ActivityPub represents as groups, with forum pages, forum search, forum timelines and deck columns. You can post to a forum from the post form, and forums get moderation tools of their own.
Forum posts can be voted on and show their score, and a forum sorts by New, Hot or Active; Catodon also recommends forums. A forum can be private, discoverable or local only, and its moderators get bans, follower removal, a moderation log and pinned posts. You can choose to be notified of new posts in a forum.
Forum posts from Lemmy, PieFed and NodeBB come through properly, link posts included, along with their votes, deletions and shares. The forums’ accounts stay in sync, and their moderation and admin information comes across.
Replies missing from a thread are fetched through ActivityPub’s conversation context, and accounts are found more reliably through WebFinger, so conversations are rebuilt more completely.
Your posts can be deleted automatically once they reach a certain age, with exceptions you choose.
A repost can be scheduled for later.
The post form and the Messages composer have a toolbar for formatting text.
Following and follower lists can be sorted by server name, and your bookmarks can be searched.
