Discourse Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project

  GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: How to run an old-school mailing list?

  A lot of communities use [Discourse ](https://discourse.org). [LPSF](https://forum lpsf.org) migrated to it when Yahoo Groups was discontinued. Some of the advantages are that it's open source, self-hostable, and can be configured to work as both a traditional mailing list and modern forum. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• My Fediverse use – I'm hosting everything myself – PeerTube, Mastodon and Lemmy

  More like https://discourse.org/. You can run it yourself, but I can also just have them ding a credit card every month and not think about it again (I do this for a community). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge

  Discourse perhaps? I've seen it in use in a few places; it has a modern look and feel to it at least. https://discourse.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• So Long, Twitter and Reddit

  I fully agree with you see my comment here[0] -- I think you may have misread my comment, it says "Discourse" (as in the forum software[1]), not Discord. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37245220. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• I am also resigning as a moderator and will be joining the "leftit" movement.

  Any way we could get an official Discourse (not discord, Discourse) OSM server going? Its the best forum software I've ever used. Source: 11 months ago

• Google Groups has been left to die

  5+ years ago I participate on a project who started a community from the ground up using a self-hosted https://discourse.org. The experience was pretty great, the user experience in general is good, onboarding is straight forward, is mobile friendly, it has email and in-app notifications for replies, weekly digests and more. And you own the data! Later down the road, a chat platform was necessary too, and we use... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  Https://discourse.org/ is the closest thing I’ve seen to what you’re asking. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Looking for Facebook/Nextdoor alternative for Civic League

  Another similar self-hosted forum service is Discourse. I've spun up a couple Discourse servers. It's a little more difficult to get going than the average WordPress website, but has a lot of the groups/forum features you're looking for. They offer a paid service as well.

• How can you make your React available to be embedded within user's website?

  Thank you for the simple but extremely useful reply! Just to add, a real example of what I want to do would be discourse.org which is used on https://users.rust-lang.org/ On discourse.org price plans, it points out that if you pay 100 dollars you can use custom domains. Would that be possible with your method? I have the feeling it might be more related to devops than React itself. Source: over 1 year ago

• Please stop closing forums and moving people to Discord

  I have seen a lot of companies, sites, non-profits move to Discourse[0]. It is customisable, low-cost, and has a lot of features which makes hosting a forum really easy and effective. This is a nice alyernative to hosting forums yourselves and Discord. [0]: https://discourse.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Self hosting a very light weight forum(software recommendations)

  As these things go, "light weight" is always in the eye of the beholder... But I've been running discourse (discourse.org) pretty well for family forums / etc . It claims to need 64 bit OS, 10G space and 1G ram and 1 - 2 cores. I'm running it on a 4G ram, 4 core VM without issue. Source: almost 3 years ago
