Yo fedi what is a good forum software
@PhenomX6 Discorse seems to be the most popular because it supports AJAX. Even if the interface is too bloated for some. It does have an API so it is possible to create alternative front-ends to it.
@xianc78 I see I see.
One friend of mine is making his own MyBB fork. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad idea. I'm staying away from Xenforo after the licensing fiasco and the fact it's paid bullshit.

@xianc78 By the way I might as well provide context. There's a certain community around a obsolete platform that's only on Discord. This is bad for multiple reasons, but the most important one is that information on the platform is hard to find because the Western community revolves around a subreddit and Discord group. The second less serious problem is one of the admins (without going into detail) has done things that have led others to avoid the community. Thankfully they've been AFK most of the time on Discord but considering their mental state there's a good chance they might start banning people, threatening to delete the server, or worse. I'm not saying that will happen, but that is exactly what happened to a discord server I lurked for months.
Essentially I want to move the community away from the trashfire of >join a Discord server and the drama that entails.

@xianc78 Definitely. I'd definitely run a Discord server or similar down the line too since I'd like to form a "better" community.
