Discourse is 100% open source forum software, now and forever.

Everything that most communities would want is included out of the box; a giant collection of complex plugins should not be required to have a great experience.

Instead of breaking threads into pages, it incorporates a scroll navigation bar to improve readability and help conversations flow better. The layout design automatically adjusts to fit various screen sizes.

Discourse provides seamless login integration with third-party applications such as Slack and GitHub and social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

It offers plenty of features to help you acknowledge experienced members and assign them for user moderation and community management. Other features like custom badges and emojis help create a more positive atmosphere.
