Have you verified that it is? Because I'm getting a never-ending Pending status when trying to sync to @testing-ground. Things federate fine, but without the syncing being established, they either don't get addressed to my instance, or are dumped into /world if I specifically reference someone on my site. And it's a little weird that they're not all ending up in /world, because I have an account that's following @testing-ground.

Right now, all you see is a tiny "replied to..." on the top. Since NodeBB can interoperate with Lemmy, it can get kind of confusing to follow some threads, as the forum UX presents the discussion as linear, while Lemmy is multi-threaded. Showing the original post as a quote would help with following the discussion.
This gets pretty messy if it's the default behaviour. It's also not in line with standard forum etiquette. I don't think the goal here is to turn nodeBB into "Lemmy, but with a different layout". It's a forum first, with Fediverse interoperability baked in. That means it's carrying 30+ years of forum norms on its shoulders, and those norms are going to find themselves in conflict with Lemmy and Mastodon norms from time to time.
I don't think it shouldn't give way to them.
Besides, there is already a feature for spotlighting replies:
