This is incredible @benpate@mastodon.social and @julian@community.nodebb.org . I'm absolutely blown away by the work you folks are doing. This isn't JUST for Emissary. This isn't JUST for NodeBB. This isn't JUST for Mastodon. THIS is for EVERYONE. And y'all are fantastic. When I see this kind of work, I honestly get emotional, because THIS is what changes the game. Thank you both and everyone, for all of your hard work. I know folks don't see it the way I do, but THIS is a step. Maybe the rigth direction, maybe 5 years down the line we say it wasn't, but it's a STEP that pushes EVERYONE forward.

Thank you so so so so so much for spending your time and energy here.

# summary
A new feature silently dropped in v4.12.0. NodeBB now supports Activity Intents!
Huh? What's an Activity Intent?
It is a proposal by @benpate@mastodon.social that aims to "extend the capabilities of an ActivityPub server beyond a user's outbox, and enable direct interactions with content on the wider social web."
In other words, it allows you to more seamlessly use your fediverse account on other sites without having to register a new account just to contribute.
In even simpler words, it means you can go to other forums and interact with content without needing to register a new account.
It directly tackles one of the fediverse "hard problems" I talked about last year — account fragmentation. You won't need additional accounts just to use other sites, your identity stays whole 
Let's learn more about how that works![...]
