Thank you!

Thank you.
- I'll definitely check out Anubis and your configuration to see if it will work for my scenario.
- Ok, good to know - if it's simply a bug then that that's fine, mostly I wanted to make sure it wasn't an indicator that something deeper was broken or getting blocked in the communication.
- Sorry, I used the term instance when I meant community. But it sounds like the federation is more so to bring traffic into the forum, rather then out. Did I understand that correctly? If that is the case, then I may not opt to use it - as I was originally hoping for a way to push forum content into communities. I'll explore this further I guess - because I'm unfamiliar with relays and fedibuzz.
Overall, I appreciate the detailed response :)
[Edit, for archival purposes]: I looked into Anubis, and it looks like a great option, but I have my nodeBB forum installed via Cloudron, and just a quick rudimentary search reveals that it may be difficult to set up alongside Cloudron. This post: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/13957/deploying-anubis-ai-crawler-filtering-on-a-cloudron-server/7 shows an example of using a second vps to accomplish it, but ...well it requires a second vps. If anyone comes up with a solution in the future and stumbles across this post, I'd love to hear how you worked it out.

/world.So for your use-case, NodeBB is still a good way to push forum content into communities. You can even set up NodeBB so that your forum index doesn't contain any local categories, but is actually made up of remote categories!
For example, look at https://activitypub.space, under the "Related Communities" section, contain a couple of sub-categories which are actually Lemmy and Piefed communities. So you are able to just post there if you have content to share :)

Ok, that's good news!
Also, I checked the activitypub.space, and see they have a related communities section, but it wasn't clickable for me (maybe it just requires login, or some other simple issue inm missing) - regardless that is a great feature and might be a good way to pull content into the forum without muddying the content within my primary categories. :) -

Yeah, but it was empty for me. Might require login or something. Or maybe there are just no related communities?
Eh, either way - not a big deal lol

Oh! That looks to be a bug too.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't crazy then. :)

Because you mentioned it might be a bug, I want to see if I am doing this correctly:
It says pending, and I remember this was one of the issues when I had bot fight mode on in cloudflare and the following of user profiles wouldn't work in /world.
Is this the similar to the same issue?
Is this how I would correctly be adding an incoming community to a "similar Communities" section?

To add a remote community to your forum index, you'll want to go to ACP > Manage > Categories
Under the "Add Category" dropdown, you can select the option to add a remote category.
Then you can treat them like any other category (re-order, rename, etc.)
The page you're on now, the category synchronization, allows a category to follow another category, and automatically cross-post its posts to that category. It also kind of does what you want, but it'll be more straightforward to add the remote community directly.

Also wasn't Germany that also adopted for some government profiles fediverse-compatible services?
The German Goverment has a Mastodon instance:

It's a linear view, in case you were wondering

Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.
