    Project mention: Looking for the best forum software to start a new forum community in 2025 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-26

    Discourse may be worth considering https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTAL...

  4. diaspora*

    A privacy-aware, distributed, open source social network.

    Project mention: Ask HN: Organize local communities without Facebook? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-21

    * Look into Diaspora. (https://diasporafoundation.org/). Upside: It's basically a self-hosted facebook. Really cool project. Downside: Unlike facebook, there's no fake/pushed content so it tended to feel stale.

    * Look into hosting a forum (e.g. phpBB). Forums are excellent because they don't lose old information like facebook does. When someone says "Hey what's the policy on dogs?" three years later I can search "dogs" and find the answer. Downside: They're not pretty, not full of pictures and no infinite scrollingz. sadge alfababies.

    * IRC chat. I hosted an IRC group for several years at work and it worked great. We only killed it when we decided to move to an enterprise communication app.

  5. Mailboxer

    A Rails gem to send messages inside a web application

  6. Thredded

    The best Rails forums engine ever.

  7. Forem

    The best Rails 3 and Rails 4 forum engine. Ever. (by rubysherpas)

  8. Social Shares

    Check how many times url was shared in social networks, e.g. share counts

  9. SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
