2024 Notes

Did you ever checkout Flarum for forum software?

 * https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Flarum

I've mentioned Flarum before, but I wanted to let you know that I just encountered another website that uses them: NovaCustom. NovaCustom is a security-focused, pro-open-hardware, pro-right-to-repair laptop manufacturer in The Netherlands. Their forums use Flarum

 * https://novacustom.com/forum/

I asked their founder what are his thoughts on Flarum, and he said he loves it

Most importantly: it has the feature you requested, where you can integrate comments at the bottom of wordpress posts to be a thread that's on the forums. For example:

 * https://novacustom.com/which-linux-distro-should-i-choose/
 * https://novacustom.com/forum/d/6-which-linux-distro-should-i-choose

Please take a look at Flarum.

2023 Notes

Flarum is an open-source forum software. Unlike Discourse, it doesn't require a complex docker install, which makes it much easier to maintain.

Which is better?

Flarum is faster and simpler, but lacks features.

Embeddable?
