If you are setting up a self-hosted NodeBB, there won't be any need to start over if you switch to our paid hosting.
We can take a database export from your existing install and migrate it onto our platform.
As for costs, feel free to reach out to us, and we will see what we can do. We have a program for non-profits and charities. While that doesn't always extend to hobby forums, it never hurts to ask. Reference this thread when you reach out 🙂

In my opinion hubzilla can be a good option to try out too, it offers wikis, webpages, chatrooms which can be useful when building a community and managing a group knowledgebase. When i used to participate on reddit diy communities their wiki feature were very helpful and something i wanted to see here on the fedi.
In addition its nomadic identity features and account portability ensures that your community isnt tied down to a particular host.
The only downside is it has a steep learning curve and takes some digging into.

Thank you so much for chiming in with your wisdom :D

Hi both. Hubzilla and NodeBB federation is public only, as there is no concensus on how to achieve private federated group discussions.
Hubzilla does something called Conversation Containers. NodeBB doesn't support that at all yet.
Operative word: yet.
But you should be able to talk to the NodeBB forums from Hubzilla.

Ooh, I wish I could answer your question, but I'm not familiar with hubzilla, and I'm still researching nodeBB. I'm not 100% sure if your question, but nodeBB does have private messaging and private group chats, but I'm not sure about the actual privacy through federation.
I'm open into looking into other options though, so if you find out more or other alternatives that would still fit into the goals/intent if the community - if be interested in seeing what you find. I'll do a bit of research into hubzilla too.
Also, I'd love it if you joined the current (temporary) forum we have right now and helped us build up the community - I'm really going to need a few solid "founding" members (for lack of a better word) to help get this community off the ground and established. I'm always open to ideas and feedback. The more people showing interest, the closer I am to pulling the trigger on setting up the permanent site through a VPS.

It would be a wonderful community and i'd love to be part of it. I am on hubzilla which implements groups in a different way than lemmy/piefed. In hubzilla we make a post by sending a DM to the community address and the community then automatically reposts it to their followers. I miss this kind of privacy while participating in forums on lemmy/piefed where i have to tag them publically and my post gets delivered to everyone and is always public.
Does nodebb enable private participation?

Giving things a solid try is very much appreciated 😆
Yes. Fingers crossed. And don't let people like me talk you out of what you want to do. I mean nobody knows in advance, what kind of path needs to be taken. And the path is gonna be riddled with issues, decisions to be made and things to be learned. There's no way around that.

You make some great points all around, and I pretty much agree all around. Of course, it's very possible that this falls through and fails to establish for those same reasons you mentioned - but I figured it doesn't hurt to give it a solid effort and try. As mentioned in some other comments across different crossposts, I think I will most likely need to make the transition to the permenant platform earlier rather than later, as soon as I'm somewhat confident that this experiment is has a decent chance of gaining members. (I'm thinking I just need to get a small handful of committed members first, then work together to establish the new platform).
Anyways, I greatly appreciate your willingness to join even if it's just to lurk a while :). Of course if you have feedback or ideas I'm always open to constructive criticism.
