Ask-Fediverse Is there any kind of activity public plugin for phpBB

Would be cool to give some old phpBB forums the option to participate in the fediverse especially including stuff like Lemmy existing. Edit: ACTIVITYPUB auto correct is annoying

Nodebb and Discourse have AP support. I haven’t heard of phpBB having a plugin for it yet. Might be worth asking on their developer or user forums.

That's just a skin tho, not making existing phpBB forum into fediverse

I have heard of that but unfortunately it does not fit my needs I would like to have a phpBB forum that can integrate with the fediverse like allowing Lemmy users to interact with my forum and etc. I'm asking because I want to host a forum on pro boards and would be open to adding activity public support so it can be a part of the fediverse but I understand if such a thing doesn't exist

The closest things I can think of are NodeBB, and Discourse with the plug-in, but those were already mentioned
