Discourse, the popular open-source online community platform, has announced the launch of Discourse Discover, a new platform designed to help users find and connect with relevant online communities.
“Discourse Discover is a significant initiative that resolves a long-standing need for the entire Discourse ecosystem,” said Sam Saffron, co-founder of Discourse. “Discovering Discourse communities was left to chance in the past; by creating a safe and diverse directory, we are now hosting a place on the Internet for everyone to discover their next favorite forum.”
Discover acts as a central directory for Discourse communities, allowing users to explore a wide range of topics, from technology and gaming to niche hobbies. With the launch, users can now easily search for and join communities that share their interests, fostering connection and fostering meaningful discussions.
“Discover is more than just a new feature; it represents our unwavering dedication to creating a more genuine internet experience for everyone,” said Sarah Hawk, Discourse’s co-CEO. “We created Discourse Discover to ensure that communities were not siloed. We believe that by bringing people together around shared interests and facilitating meaningful, nontoxic, long forum conversations, we can make a positive impact on the world, one community at a time.”
The platform showcases both hosted and self-hosted communities, highlighting the flexibility and reach of the Discourse software.
Key benefits of Discover:
- Effortless exploration: Discover allows users to easily find and join relevant online communities.
- A diverse range of topics: Explore communities across a wide range of interests.
