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

[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 .

/r/2600 will go dark from June 12-14 in protest against Reddit API changes
For myself I use https://github.com/taviso/nntpit which uses the subreddit's .json endpoint and is done by an indy developer not a business. So changes to Reddit's API negatively impact FOSS tools like this.
- I nuovi prezzi di Reddit per le API potrebbero portare alla fine delle app third-party.

do you reddit from the commandline?
It looks like this: https://github.com/taviso/nntpit/blob/main/doc/screenshot.png

Love Complex (2000). I just spent a month subtitling an old Japanese soap opera in its entirety, because it's one of the weirdest shows I've ever seen, and I need to share it with the world.
