“My members said it felt like 2009”
Used weekly for less than 6 months
I run a coaching community and moved to Discourse for the ownership. Members hated it — they wanted something that felt like an app, not a message board. Moved back within three months.
Pros
Technically excellent, and free if you self-host.
Cons
Wrong shape for a consumer paid community.
