DFeed VS ForumMagnum

I'm not familiar with the codebase, but from my understanding it saves messages in a database [1], then periodically send out a formatted email to people who subscribed to the thread/group [2]

Anyone can post on the forum, you just have to provide an email address (you don't have to register, but you can enforce it)

This website is powered by DFeed, an NNTP / mailing list web frontend / forum software, news aggregator and IRC bot. DFeed was written mostly by Vladimir Panteleev. The source code is available under the GNU Affero General Public License on GitHub: https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed

I never used it but the D forum has an nntp interface: https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed

https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed is also interesting

What I would really, really like in any forum software is an NNTP bridge. Ideally bidirectional, but at least readable via NNTP. So far, the only one I've seen is https://forum.dlang.org/ with actual code at https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed .

A few to shake things up:

- https://lobste.rs/

- https://www.lesswrong.com/

- https://brutalist.report/

- https://slashdot.org/

The example above I copied; sadly without the direct link to the specific example, from a mega-post on www.lesswrong.com, a place I go when I need my head to explode. The thread I was reading and got lost in is about the "Waluigi Effect" (yes, also a thing).
