Best way to create a community website
For something simple, I'd look into bbpress. For something more complex (but that can still integrate with WordPress, check out Xenforo (my favorite) or Vanilla.

Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community
(Not sure if the latest version supports digest emails though)

Don't Use Discord as a Forum
> I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/
TIL to what shit Netgate moved pfSense forums to. I'm glad you are fine with it, but not only my FullHD monitor is not a smartphone, so I don't need 400% fonts on everything (and post dates on the faaaaar right clearly shows nobody ever even used the forum) and most importantly - search doesn't work. It's not like the previous forum had a good search, but at least it worked.
Bonus point: try to Ctrl+mousewheel on any NodeBB (including the official one).
I wrote about this a while ago for Slack/forums: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3451 but the points still hold.

I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/ Full featured OSS forum you can self-host or let them host for you (for $).
Big fan of letting people use the search interface they want, which is almost always Google.

Hey Guys, I'm an Open Source enthusiast. StackFoss.com is an open source StackOverFlow alternative, and what makes StackFoss awesome is Focus on open source and Ad-free.
You said it's based on. This means that there are modifications to the implementation of nodebb. So where is your modifications' source code then? stackfoss/stackfoss is just a single readme file

Some forum software written in Rust
Obviously forums aren't as popular as they used to be, so this topic might not be of interest to many. For folks that want to run a forum, they'd most certainly go with Discourse (Ruby), Flarum (PHP), Xenforo (PHP), NodeBB (Javascript), Nimforum (Nim) and maybe Casnode (Go)

Any Rust based forum software?
I was looking into actively maintained Rust based forum software similar to NodeBB (Node.js) or Discourse (Ruby on Rails) and Flaskbb (Python).

Is there any good API implementation fully done using nodejs/express?
Thanks! I have taken a look at it but it seems a bit convoluted the code, doesn't it? Or am I looking at the wrong one? For example: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/controllers/category.js
