@axbom I too have been doing some similar evaluating of alternatives. I would recommend adding:
- #Zulip (Slack, #Mattermost competitor) More info: https://c.im/@sbb/114034480079879818
- #Conversations/ #Gajim/ #Prosody (is similarly E2E encrypted, but additionally federated, unlike Signal), this is my #XMPP "stack" at present (more info: https://c.im/@sbb/114032786446300932 )
- #DeltaChat (is federated, unlike #Signal) More info: https://c.im/@sbb/114043962394278098
- #flarum , a forum similar to Discourse, but will run on a #RaspberryPi, unlike Discourse
- #calibre-web for your ebook collection
- #shiori, for private cloud bookmarks
C.IMBhante Subharo (@sbb@c.im)@adamhsparks@rstats.me @dangoodin@infosec.exchange +1 for Zulip; they worked hard on performance improvements in the latest major release. They know Mattermost is ahead of them in popularity, and have more of a "good faith" culture. Might try it myself in the medium term
There's a new version of the FOSS forum software #Flarum out, and I was going to toot about how it seems like a great alternative for people who want to start a new community of some sort…
Then I took a look at their website and noticed a lot of LLM illustrations, and I was like no, wtf!
So I searched for Flarum AI, to see if anyone was giving them pushback on this…
And what I found instead was a seemingly official plugin to create fully AI forum users in Flarum!
What the actual fuck!?
I've started a #Flarum forum, for talking about Spiritual Books (and other related, wholesome topics).
I'm enjoying learning more about Flarum's administration, and moderator controls. It's enjoyable being able to be myself about 10x more, with this more private group of friends. We can feel free to actually say what we feel like saying. You might say, it's a "speakeasy".
Registration isn't open to the general public, but rather just fellow Spiritual Seekers and friends I've actually met in person at least once. I'd like for the user base to be "acquaintance-level" and stronger. This is to say, a real-life meeting which felt right (and wasn't sketchy) is a prerequisite.
There's definitely a whole different, refreshing psychological relief that comes along with not needing to feel that I'm walking on egg-shells, when it comes to carefully not uttering anything which isn't within all the perfectly politically correct things (several of which get lampooned on Youtube Channels like https://www.youtube.com/@TheBabylonBee/videos)
I've noticed that Mastodon here - despite its professed values of "inclusiveness" - is not _really_ a welcoming place for those who have religious affiliation. The "inclusiveness" and necessary accompanying civility is not _really_ extended into the religious or Spiritual dimension of discussion. Alas, religious and Spiritual subject matter seems as though it's too volatile an arena of discussion for the wide-open Internet, where any hee-haw anonymous user can say anything and run away.

#Flarum on a Raspberry Pi 5 is a good Open Source Forum board, granted you can work around there being no support for CORS or a reverse proxy.
The mobile experience of Flarum is way better than PHPBB, and Discourse is too heavyweight for a RaspberryPi. Flarum hits that "sweet spot" between these two.
What is CORS?

@lautreg @CyborgHT @mdione @popey I installed Flarum on a Raspberry Pi 5, and I'm appreciating the mobile client experience of connecting to it. The Flarum install and configuration was *much* easier than installing Prosody (with TURN server).
I posted a few Flarum installation notes (on Debian 12) here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/35021-raspberry-pi-5-flarum-install-raspberry-pi-os-bookworm-debian-12

@mdione @popey I've found a recent HOWTO for installing Flarum in Debian 12, and I think I'll have a go at installing Flarum on a spare Raspberry Pi 5 I have, for some light testing:

I'm dissatisfied with the performance of a Discourse server which my organization currently has. It's installed on really decently performant hardware, and has no excuses to perform this slowly - it's as though Microsoft invented it or something. It takes 10 seconds just to show one's message inbox (for DMs), and the there is tons of RAM, CPU and disk that's just sitting there, twiddling its thumbs, as it were (I've watched htop and iotop). That's madness. This 10 seconds waiting time is within a low-latency, wired LAN.

Both #NodeBB and #Flarum announced they were joining the #Fediverse well before the #RedditMigration started gaining steam.
We also can’t forget that #Discourse is also joining the #Fediverse.
And I suspect more forum software will soon follow suit.
Why? Because the #RedditMigration just validated that #ActivityPub is useful for forum software.
#introduction time! I'm a #SysAdmin for a fairly small company that specializes in ERP customization for manufacturing as well as a metrology lab. I spend most of my free time managing my dog, and my personal projects. I also spend a lot of time on #flarum working on development there.
I'm also the #administrator for SysAdmins Zone and SysAdmins Lounge, both of which are social in anture.
