  5. forustm

    A forum for rust community, using Rust, and Sapper.

    The only actual forum software is - Forustm. However, it isn't actively maintained. The other repos are Reddit clones, with the most popular one being Lemmy, which is basically a federated Reddit.

    On a side note, even Go doesn't have any options, the closest thing (Casnode) isn't close at all.

  16. miniserve

    🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

    actix-web was the big name in "runs on stable Rust" for a long time and it's what I use, as well as what's used by things like miniserve, paired with Maud.

  18. Flarum

    Simple forum software for building great communities.

    I remember seeing an announcement of something a week or two ago which looked like a Discourse/Flarum clone to me (Flarum is the PHP analogue to Discourse) but I think it was being announced as sort of a way to self-host a subreddit, so I'm having trouble searching my bookmarks for it because of all the actual reddit URLs.
