Don't Use Discord as a Forum
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)

Why Did Usenet Fail?
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
- Google Groups has been left to die

Feedbase is an Atom/RSS-feed to nntp gateway
I never used it but the D forum has an nntp interface: https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed

Casnode: An open-source forum software developed using BeeGo, React and MySQL
https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed is also interesting
- First release of LemmyBB, a federated bulletin board written in Rust
- Show HN: Minimal, no-JS web forum software

[META] Like Rationalists Leaving A . . .
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 .

Ask HN: Forum Software Similar to Reddit?
I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.

PhpBB
Another one like that I saw recently was Postmill [1a][1b] but I have not tried it.

We need to switch to FOSS alternatives like Mastodon and Lemmy.
It doesn't support ActivityPub indeed. Somebody else has to put in that support in Postmill (the link aggregator software powering Raddle), and the developer herself is not interested in implementing that support herself.

It does! The source code seems like gnu-esque licence.

Using AI to make MY OWN Reddit?
Postmill is sort of an old.reddit clone you may be able to bend to do your bidding.

Discussion Thread
I was on a reddit clone for a while for a banned subreddit for my favourite comedy podcast (to remain nameless, but after a while it got racist and I had to leave). They used https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill and it worked fine. It's open source so they could modify it a bit (saving posts, bots etc). The main issue was that over time fewer and fewer people came to the site, leaving only the most extreme and toxic people.. The nice thing about reddit is that it provides a fairly constant inflow of people.

- Ask HN: Is there a truly solid low-code to build Twitter or Reddit clone?

Does anyone know of any Reddit / Twitter style websites that use WordPress?
What are you looking for, php engines? They are, some are written, examples: https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill. I am doing Agouti myself, but it is only being developed, it in php, but this is more for now an educational project agouti demo, etc.
What are some alternatives?
