The Bambuddy Community Forum is now live — but it's still in beta. Things might break, layouts might shift, and features are still being polished. That's where you come in.

What is this place?

This forum is the new home for the Bambuddy community. It replaces the old Discourse setup and runs on NodeBB, heavily customized for our needs.

Forum

The forum side works like any classic forum — categories, topics, replies, search. Use it for:

• In-depth discussions and questions
• Installation help and troubleshooting
• Feature ideas and suggestions
• Announcements and release notes
• Sharing your setups and prints

Posts are searchable and persistent — unlike chat, nothing disappears.

Chat Channels

The chat channels in the left sidebar are live-synced with our Discord server. Messages flow both ways:

• Post in Discord → appears here
• Post here → appears in Discord

Images, edits, and deletes all sync. So whether you prefer Discord or the forum, you're in the same conversation.

Available channels: General / Help, Development, Off Topic, Share & Tell, and private channels for Contributors and Moderators.

Slash Commands in Chat

Type / in any chat room to see available commands:

• /issue — Step-by-step guide to report a bug
• /feature — How to request a feature
• /topic <category-id> — Export chat conversation to a forum topic
• /pin / /unpin — Pin messages
• /members — List room members
• /help — Show all commands

Reactions

You can react to both forum posts and chat messages with emoji. On forum posts, click the + button below the post. In chat, hover over a message and click the smiley icon in the controls.

Login

You can register with email, or log in with Discord or GitHub — same accounts you already use.

What's still being worked on

• UI tweaks and dark theme polish
• Mobile responsiveness
• Notification fine-tuning
• Link previews for some sites (Cloudflare-protected URLs won't preview)
• Search currently covers forum only, not chat

Found a bug? Something looks weird?

Please report it in Comments & Feedback. Include:

• What you did
• What happened
• What you expected
• A screenshot if possible

This helps us fix things fast.

Thanks for being part of the beta! Your feedback shapes how this community grows.
