phpBB (https://www.phpbb.com/) phpBB, short for "PHP Bulletin Board," is a popular open-source forum software written in PHP scripting language.

We go old school baby 😎. A 90s solution for 90s bikes.

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.

Just like this is a phpBB forum: https://forum.ubuntu-it.org/ and this is the software behind it: https://www.phpbb.com/

"I actually wish we had a hacker community like this without the business/startup side at all"

Sounds like you want https://lobste.rs

Well, there's https://lobste.rs/, or we could all go back to slashdot I guess

Requesting https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters as I'm going through that codebase and would be able to provide feedback. cheers

ps. just gonna second everyone else who's saying being able to edit out incorrect data is very important, otherwise people are gonna be weary of reading repos they aren't already familiar with.

> Hacker News, but also lobster.rs

First time I hear about it. I think you meant https://lobste.rs
