@gael@telegram@signalapp@matrix Useful easy to follow discussions are difficult without threads/topics like #discourse forums or even email threads. I heard #Matrix or #Element supports or will support threads but haven't encountered them in any groups yet.
Since we just had issues with a #Discourse upgrade AGAIN on the OctoPrint community forums (the admin team is trying to fix things up as I'm typing this), does anyone here have experience with migrating from Discourse to #NodeBB by any chance?
Seriously considering a future move right now. We've had nothing but bad experiences with their "official supported way" of doing a self-hosted setup, and I feel really bad for the admins.
Thing about these people is they aren't really pro free speech, more like they're anti being taken to task for saying insane, incendiary, divisive and dangerous things. A bunch of phony baloney hypocrites. Many of them cheered on and enabled by a mentally unhinged billionaire. #Freedumb#Discourse#Hypocrisy#Speech#Musk
Fair comment. I do find that conversations on Discourse forums or Loomio groups are more likely to go deep, and lead to covergent outcomes, then even the most constructive chats here. I haven't used Pol.is, but I've read impressive things about its by #g0v for vTaiwan.
When seeking support or sharing feedback about software/website, which platform would you prefer to use? Please share your reasons in the replies (if you wish).
Still looking for responses to this one! Also I should've probably included hashtags, however I can't edit the post because that'll reset votes. I don't remember if hashtags work for replies, but probably worth a try: #Survey#Poll#Discourse#NodeBB#GitHub#Discord#Forums.

I'm a member of a forum that uses xenforo, and the way that it exposes what should be internal errors with full stack traces and full file paths to regular users or even users not logged in scares me. Makes me glad that I administer #Discourse forums — much better security. The only way I would touch Xenforo as an administrator would be to migrate away from it.
Right now the site is so broken that I can't even log in to send them a message about how broken it is. And of course they have no backup mechanism.
Great to see this, and good blog (am still reading).
The marriage of chat + forum on the characteristics you list is an important one.
Once you have 2 separate community channels, say a #Matrix chat and a #Discourse forum, you immediately have a problem. The chat is so low-barrier that important info to be kept longer term ends up there and gets lost in the chat flow history. It requires reminding all the time "Please take this to forum".
I moved from #reddit over to #lemmy last week... Much like I said here when I first got this account... it very much feels like the early internet.
Know what else it made me realize?
Redditors are fucking ASSHOLES.
I think I shall stay here and Lemmy, where true conversations can be had as opposed to snarky responses to... literally everything... for no good goddamn reason.
Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub
imagine being able to reply and participate to any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity.
I could easily do a test with this idea using RSS to autofeed a #Discourse or #Nodebb forum and then consume the firehose from #Fediverse, just for fun!
For the moment, when Lemmy can connect to tens of thousands (MAUs), & Kbin can connect to millions (MAUs). Personally I'm going to go with my Kbin account.
Both platforms need development. Also other forum platforms are taking up ActivityPub #NodeBB#Flarum#Discourse so this space on the Fediverse is going to expand & evolve quite a bit. #Fediverse#RedditMigration
One thing cool about the progress of the #ActivityPub plugin for #Discourse is for haxians, that will mean that not only can one of the main communities (https://community.haxe.org/) interact with the broader Fediverse, but it could after some improvements to the plugin, hook up with any other Discourse-based forums, like https://community.openfl.org/.
The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn't end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse....
Discourse ActivityPub currently allows you to establish a Discourse category as an ActivityPub “Actor”. This means that any other “Person” in the ActivityPub network (such as a Mastodon user) can “Follow” the category on their ActivityPub service....

I must not engage with the discourse...
What do we call the Lemmy/Kbin Universe?
