Is there any limitation on number of categories? I am planning to create forum site with 500+ categories, is it possible with discourse?

Gotta quote Jeff here: One thing you should do when starting is to create just a few key categories, and as your forum grows, you can create new categories, and use the search to move topics to the new category. You can also use tags, that can separate content but are more lightweight.

Can someone please address the main question stated in the title: How many categories can discourse support? This is a valid question and very important to consider. I’m well aware of tags and tag groups. Are there performance concerns or technical issues related to having 1000 categories? Or ma…

这取决于你计划拥有多少患者。Discourse 并非为拥有 10,000 个分类的场景而设计。即使是 1,000 个分类，在性能方面也会带来一定问题。
