Is it possible to have multiple instances of Discourse but that users can log in to all of them with the same ID info? Let’s say that I have a forum for multiple cities, city1.domain.com, city2.domain.com, city3.domain.com but that users only have to register once. Thanks for the help in advance :slight_smile:

I don’t think “siloizing” your Discourse like that would bring any benefit. Have a look at our site (forums.jag-lovers.com). We have categories for each specific model family, and common categories. Our site has always been organized this way. I see more “cross pollination” between the categories since we changed to Discourse - on the old system there was a bit of a “circle the wagons” mentality. Discourse’s search, latest topics presentation, and the ease with which users can link to posts in other threads are the only UI changes, and our user base is more or less the same, but people are helping each other across “knowledge domains” more than they used to. The only benefit from multiple instances would be if you wanted to have category/instance specific moderators… but that means more staff/effort/duplication of moderator tasks. You could use sub categories (Bragg-schooling, Bragg-social, Bragg-offsite) for base specific content and have a few generic categories (Army Life-Army Wife, Military parenting, hobbies). Set up a user custom field “Current Posting:” for your users to indicate where they are, and get them to populate “About me” with past postings, and display that on their user cards. You probably won’t need to move many things around because users post in the “wrong” category. Using one instance will decrease your moderation effort.

Yes absolutely. I’m so what familiar with how the forum work, I’m already running a forum on it. Not related to this.

Good points there. Thanks you so much for taking the time to write :memo: this. You have some good ideas. I’ll take a look at your community and grab some pointers from it. I’m building this community because I genuinely believe it will bring some benefit to the Army military community.

To follow up on this: I went with the recommendations made by the majority in here. Discourse has been installed, and the main categories are in place. Now to add some sub-categories. I appreciate all the helpful opinions. This is an amazing community, one that I am very proud to be part of. Discourse is a great piece of software, and it has inspired me to start learning Ruby/Rails. https://army.community/ Your opinions and subjections are more than welcome as I continue creating the community.

Is it possible to show only the main categories when you click on the top right menu? [图片]to

Hmm, I think each category has the ability to determine whether it appears there or not in its settings. We used to have a “suppress all subcategories from nav” but I believe when @neil reworked this to make it more of a per-category config thing, we dropped the weirdo global setting.

Can somebody confirm if the site is loading slow, or if it’s just me? And if so, what kind of recommendations can I follow to speed up things a little. I have a 3CPU/5GB memory ubuntu VPS. I have used the same setups for another kind of projects, and it has always worked pretty well.

Discourse is very sensitive to single threaded CPU performance. So if your CPU cores are slow, it won’t matter how many of them there are. Beyond that, I recommend configuring a CDN.

Can I log into multiple instances of discourse simultaneously?

I’m not sure if there is a better way, but if you click on each subcategory you can check this box: Suppress this category from the homepage from the subcategories Settings tab.
