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)

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 .

Take a look at FlaskBB, it's kind of like those but modern and written in Python.
Also it needs devs.

FlaskBB is pretty good, although it needs a little bit of work to make it easily packageable.

Any Rust based forum software?
16 projects | /r/rust | 28 Oct 2022

I was looking into actively maintained Rust based forum software similar to NodeBB (Node.js) or Discourse (Ruby on Rails) and Flaskbb (Python).
Pytest github example (request)
2 projects | /r/learnpython | 14 Mar 2022

Here’s a well structured, but still simple app with a nice tests layout. Here’s a forum software using Flask that’s more mature. This GitHub links have a lot of examples, from boilerplates to established open source projects.
Small project idea feedback please
