• Looking for Facebook/Nextdoor alternative for Civic League

  The final thought that comes to mind is BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress sites. A pretty decent option if you already have a WordPress site setup. Source: about 1 year ago

• Child care - matching parents with foster parents

  As you're building a community site to allow parents and foster parents to create their own user profiles and potentially interact with each other, buddypress can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best way to create a community website

  I'd probably be remiss if I didn't also mention buddypress, which some like for creating a social/community space based on WordPress. I much prefer a forum, but you should at least look into buddypress a little. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can Wordpress help me make a blog (image below explains) where users can select topics they’re interested in, add these topics to their profiles, have a calendar with important dates, author profiles and more. The image will explain more

  Obviously forums aren't as popular as they used to be, so this topic might not be of interest to many.

• Best way to create a community website

• Ask HN: Any forum/community dedicated to software and DevOps?

  Obligatory Lobsters[0] link. You may know it well already though. If you really need to scratch that itch, maybe start your own community based around those topics? I wouldn't build it from scratch though, and use something like XenForo[1]. The web needs more forums, there's not enough of them around!
