Ask HN: Facebook Groups alternative – which forum software to use?

3 pointsby agigaoover 4 years ago
Hi there, lately I&#x27;ve joined a few communities which tend to use Facebook groups platform for internal communication.<p>I&#x27;m coming from good old ways when IBP was a thing and experience is absolutely different, cluttered and chaotic.<p>I&#x27;d like to setup platforms for these communities, but deciding which software to use is not that easy to decide, thus I&#x27;m asking to HN community for assistance.<p>P.S. I&#x27;d also need to localize the platform into Georgian language.<p>Thanks, Giga

For those operating a pure standalone forum (and not using a social platform like Facebook or Reddit), Discourse has won: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discourse.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discourse.org&#x2F;</a> , <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;discourse&#x2F;discourse" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;discourse&#x2F;discourse</a><p>It’s available hosted or you can install it and&#x2F;or pay someone to (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meta.discourse.org&#x2F;t&#x2F;what-are-some-reputable-managed-discourse-hosting-providers-out-there&#x2F;54702" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meta.discourse.org&#x2F;t&#x2F;what-are-some-reputable-managed...</a> and many others). The default user-facing experience is excellent.
