as #1032 got closed with the note I should move here. Which I do with this post :-)

Problem

In 2: Threads and forums in the Roadmap there was asked for ideas for Threads and forums.

Proposed solution

Reddit as type of Forum was already mentioned A flarum type forum (https://flarum.org/) would also be really nice :-) perhaps its even possible to use an extension to sync the forum inside fluxer to public flarum forum.

I see ! So, to try and recap (tell me if I'm wrong) :
  • Make forums more compact
    • Remove useless whitespace
    • Display things more "inline"
    • Remove useless information
  • Add more complex tags, so that you have categories
  • Add forum groups
  • Ideally, add flarum bridge
If I understood correctly, that indeed seems interesting ! I added this discussion to the main message as part of discussions about the forum channel. Edit: Don't hesitate to expand even more on your ideas ! It can be helpful for devs if they end up wanting to implement this :p
