#AskFedi once again, as I do.
What's a good #forum software to use?
I'm already familiar with #phpBB and #Discourse; want to know what else is out there that y'all actually would use and recommend.

Both #NodeBB and #Discourse offer #ActivityPub integration and have AP-themed forums / forum categories sync their federated content. Posting on a forum first has the advantage that it leaves a track record / archive (and has generally a better UI for discussions :)
Here's the #SocialHub dev community forum:

And here is NodeBB's ActivityPub dedicated category:
Don’t spout
your bubble nonsense at me.
I’m in my own
and I can
spout right back
incomprehensibly.

Back for the last day of our DiscourseNet Congress in #Brussels on “Discourses and Imaginaries of present and future societies” starting with a keynote from Annette Knaut on the sociology of knowledge approach to #Discourse. #DiscourseStudies #SKAD #DNC6
By the way, the #DNC6 is a multilingual congress. There are panels and presentations in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. For instance about ex-muslims in french social media, the new right in Bolivia, conspiracy theories and the #discourse of the “great replacement”. #AnalyseDuDiscours #AnálisisDelDiscurso #AnáliseDoDiscurso
Demetrios Mitres-Sioupis and Athina Sioupi talked about the #discourse and imaginaries of British Nuclear power. #DNC6
I was going to post here the SMBC-comics.com picture of the fellow shouting words to the effect of "I don't understand what you're talking about, but the issue I feel strongly about is relevant, and you ought to feel the same way too!", and underneath the caption "I don't know how, but I could tell at once he was from the internet...".
I couldn't find the comic and am now worried I completely imagined it. Please make do with just the words.
Thanks. I cross-referenced this in another #SocialHub post pointing out improvements for the #Discourse #ActivityPub plugin..

“10 years ago [those things] would simply not have not been imaginable... today it’s not just imaginable, it’s happening... Eighty per cent of the things that are said, or are written, or are accepted as a #normal part of the #discourse in today’s #Britain [or #Ireland, or #Europe] would have been totally #unacceptable, totally ridiculous, totally #shameful.”

@thommie zeigt unter https://www.netzwissen.de/2025/06/24/discourse-ist-die-erste-wahl-fuer-die-vernetzung-von-initiativen/ ein, warum E-Mailverteiler oder Messenger für das Gespräch innerhalb von Gruppen ungeeignet sind. Für Gruppen und Initiativen plädiert er für Internetforen auf der Basis der Software #Discourse, die z.B. auch von #B90DieGrünen eingesetzt wird, auch wenn der Einsatz dort hinter den Möglichkeiten zurück bleibt. Etwa, geschlossene und offene Foren zu kombinieren oder auch, Foren per ActvityPub zu föderieren. Übrigens @BlumeEvolution: Ein Nachbar von Dir.
@stefano @_elena A really decent, performant #OpenSource forum software such as #Flarum, #PhpBB, or #Discourse, is right there. Do any of your 350k subscribers have a #RaspberryPi 5 lying around (wth an NVME drive), and have expertise? Flarum or PhpBB would run performantly on it for a huge number of concurrent users. Where is your #OpenSource spirit, to take things into your own hands?
@sz_duras In #LTI, The Language of the Third Reich, Victor #Klemperer shows how everyday language, official #discourse, and small habits of #thought insidiously transform the perception of #reality. #Fascism, according to him, does not impose itself solely through #violence or #terror, but through the slow permeation of minds, the trivialization of #ideology in #language, and the internalization of new norms, until the #exception becomes the #rule.

Setting up web services for a community organisation, on a single hosted machine. Should I deploy them in #Containers?
e.g. a home site (maybe static HTML), a #KeyCloak identity provider, a #NextCloud instance, a #Discourse instance. Each at a different sub-domain.
So each of those is a container? Plus I need a web proxy (#NGinX), SSL certificate management (#LetsEncrypt), database server (#PostgreSQL)?
And a #PodMan pod? Now I have 7 or more containers? Deployed with #Ansible? Help!
@nextcloud Yes, I received many good answers on from the #Nextcloud #community, and many more #opensource communities.
Most use the excellent #discourse software for their forums. Highly recommended!

On a donc regardé des alternatives aux forums/ML/newsgroup/etc.
@geobabbler nous a fait découvrir #Zulip, et perso je suis complètement fan : ça impose de créer un nouveau sujet pour démarrer une discussion, comme sur un forum/ML/newsgroup, tout en gardant le côté temps réel. Pour du smalltalk c’est nul, mais c’est le job de Discord/Matrix/XMPP ça.
Sinon il y a #Discourse, si on veut une alternative plus « lente ».
