Celebrating Discourse release 3.3

[Saif (Saif Murtaza)]

Discourse 3.3 is here!

This new release contains powerful new features to enhance the discoverability of your community and the content within it. With Discourse Discover, members can easily find and join your community, even when on-the-go by using the Discourse Hub mobile app. Additionally, the new Hot topic list surfaces trending topics so your members can keep up with the most popular conversations in your community.

nice! was looking forward to this release.

one question tho, what is up with the release tag v3.3.0.beta6?
it seems to be ahead of v3.3.0. Also, it is not listed in the announcements category.

Custom flags for moderation

The review system in Discourse has always made it easy for you to let your community help you manage discussions, root out spam and illegal content, and resolve other issues. The defaults are still best in class and you don’t need to change them, but given the increasing importance of protecting personally identifiable information online and new data protection regulations in many parts of the world, you will appreciate having the ability to tailor the flags to your needs.

Can you tell us where we go to access this new feature? I’ve been clicking through all the settings and can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Is the admin sidebar enabled at your site (admin sidebar enabled groups)?
Then you can find “moderation flags” in the community section of the sidebar.

You can also access {YOURSITE}/admin/config/flags directly

Very exciting! Discourse just keeps becoming smoother.

Discourse relies on (awesome) outside contributors to be a healthy, functioning open-source project! Our sincerest thanks for code contributions in this release from:

This was bumped/tagged by mistake. We can’t easily remove the commit, but the tag has now been removed.

v3.3.0.beta5 was the final beta version of 3.3, and is identical to 3.3.0 stable.
