I spend way too much time on this. It has awesome features, a good mobile UI, maaany many systems to sort things, flexible permissions and more.
Examples:
- Fedora
- KDE
- uBlue
- Tor project (they also have an onion site)
- Manjaro, EndeavorOS, Garuda
- Brave
- Nextcloud
- ZorinOS
- PrivacyGuides, Techlore
- Audacity
- Anki
- Joplin …

Are there any significant Discourse forums that federate with ActivityPub currently?
@technology@lemmy.world #gameofthrones #houseofthedragon #hotd
@vetehinen @technology @boredsquirrel
asoiaf@lemmy.world has light activity, but it is active.
This is awesome, thank you!
Can you add a filter for forums that have ActivityPub integration?
I would just visit each forum that looks interesting and check for myself but unfortunately the Federation tab (e.g. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ap/local/actor/52889/followers) only has a visible UI link to it when logged in which makes finding out this information very slow.
I would be more impressed if Discourse worked in my browser without using an extension to inject code changes. It also tries to forbid browsers it doesn’t recognize, regardless of their ability to run its code. Plus it doesn’t downgrade gracefully—you should be able to view public information in full without Javascript (I don’t expect any ability to log in or manipulate content, but reading things should work, and Discourse seems to break scrolling somehow). Not impressed. Granted, I’m not sure what I would choose if I were setting up a Web forum today, since mobile is now such a Big Thing and I don’t use it, but Discourse fails at things I consider basic.
Yes I agree. Discourse is good on mobile though.
What code injection do you mean?
Reviewing it (I haven’t needed to touch the setup in a good year or more), it’s basically a replacement to make other code think the browser acceptability check returned
true, since feeding in a fake User-Agent stopped being sufficient to pass the check a couple of years ago. One-liner, and not written by me, but I seriously hate the fact that it pushes browser monopoly.
I have a very low opinion of Discourse after they banned everybody from TheDailyWTF forum for finding too many bugs.
Interesting! Didnt know that this sounds incredible

For reference
Before that Atwood had made himself admin on their forum and started acting like a reddit mod, arbitrarily editing and deleting other people’s posts.
Yeah Discourse allows a ton of stuff for admins. It needs trust. Interesting thread!
Wow what a read that was. Only skimmed through the first few pages, but that is just terrible product owner behavior. And this guy is the cofounder? Fuck Discourse
Why did you post this? It’s forum software, yawn. Some like it, some find it bloaty.
You’re writing this on Lemmy, which is arguably forum software.
Do I open threads about Lemmy without saying anything in particular about it?
Found it interesting. This is a link aggregator after all ;)
also I find the UX way better than Lemmy. It lacks Federation which is kind of an issue, but as communities are on one server only anways, federation is pretty limited.
Well ok, I guess if it’s new to you. It’s been around a long time and most of us have seen Discourse forums. They are interesting or uninteresting depending mostly on the users and topics, rather than the software.
