Curious if folks haved used it and like it.
I've used Discourse, and I really like it! And that's saying a lot,
because I detest all other web-based forum software I've used.
I've always preferred to use my familiar email client for all of my
email list activity. Not until I joined a paid community that uses
Discourse did I find I enjoyed using a web tool to compose messages,
read messages, and stay up to date with a community.
Discourse has spotty RSS support. I hope they'll improve that.
I love Mailman and pay
MailmanLists.net to host many Mailman lists, and
I've self-hosted Mailman 2 in the past. But Mailman 2 has real
limitations and, while I've never tried to self-host or administer
Mailman 3, it appears it's more complex. I'm tempted to move my Mailman
lists to Discourse!
Here's more info on the paid community I mentioned:
