Is there a discourse that I could test out like the mechanics that isn’t free-trial?
             
            
               
               
               
            
            
           
          
            
            
              Ok, I figured out what I needed, thanks! 
(Quick Question: I have a small budget, so is there a way to pay for a discourse less than $50 a month?)

              when picking a host, make sure you can do a standard install .  you will need an email account with a transactional service like mailgun or similar, as well as a domain name.

              no worries, i wasn’t questioning your ability to do anything, just wondering why you were blocked from github.

              I know, but is the github thing necessary for this process?

              yes because the code for our software is in a repository on github

              For this actual topic, what I actually wanted was to see the icons (for badges) but my friend showed me somewhere else.
