The biggest challenge of using a single instance for a workplace: you could very easily accidentally share something publicly that should be private. All it would take is selecting the wrong category or setting incorrect permissions on a new category.
To sum up how it’s going now:
- Great! It’s allowed us to support and get real feedback from everyone using Discourse on Discourse without the risks outlined above.
- Our internal instance was an inspiration for Discourse for Teams. There’s a lot of potential for companies to use a tool like Discourse for building an internal community.
- There’s a lot of activity happening in both communities, so we’re always looking at ways to make sure we connect with both as our team and Meta grows.
