Hey guys … I literally know nothing about coding or anything got to do with computer studies … I just wanted to know how I can start my own community exactly the same as https://community.infinite-flight.com/ ! What are the steps and is it for free ? Thanks :slightly_smiling:

The software itself is indeed free. However, you need a means of hosting it so others can access it (after all, what good is a forum that only you have access to). If you already have access to a server, then yes, there is a ‘free’ option. If you do not have access to a server, you will need one that can run something called docker. DigitalOcean’s $10.00 a month plan can host small communities. Someone can walk you through the installation process or you can do the additional $99 fee that Discourse offers. Otherwise, you can have Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) host and install it for 20.00 a month, or have Discourse host it and get far more direct support. Otherwise, you can always jump into an existing community, help out, and help built out that community. I suppose the question at hand is, what exactly do you want to do, and why do you want to do it?

Also please don’t go into the hard details as I won’t understand @codinghorror can you please help me

It is for free ? Sorry for asking

Also it’s too complicated ! Any easier way ?

Yes, it is free (see Copyright / License for more details).
