#Announcements

  • Voice rooms are here. The announcement about Discord-style voice and video rooms now bundled with Discourse sparked a long thread about invites, groups, and access control. Putty asked whether whole groups can be invited to a voice room rather than individual users, and Falco explained that room membership is deliberately per-user, while site-wide gating can be handled through a setting (read more). Mcwumbly also proposed a category/chat-channel-based access-control approach for the future (read more).

#Extras

  • Building a theme with MCP — for about $3. Sam shared a fascinating walkthrough of using Discourse MCP to quickly build a theme, including a fully unsupervised DeepSeek 4.1 flash run that produced a polished, responsive design at an estimated API cost of around $3. Ducks also shared their own before/after attempt (read more). Sam was clear that the brief is critical, and while the result was solid, it doesn’t yet match GPT-6 Astra’s design fidelity (read more).

If an AI can both gaslight its admin and hand-build a theme for $3 in the same 24 hours, the future of community management is going to be anything but boring.

#Community Building

  • Merefield asked whether Meta has a policy on AI attribution, and Moin pointed to the guidelines, which state:

    Don’t Post AI … don’t simply copy in AI generated content. We have bots for that.

    Dan_Eastwood then reported an uptick in suspiciously well-written wall-of-text posts from new users, possibly a returning banned user testing a new model, and suggested — with a nod to xkcd — that communities may need their own AI-responders to test suspicious newcomers in a sandbox. Nickdb shared a production approach where a bot parses new topics from low-trust users, flags possible AI content, and politely asks the author to adjust. read more

  • Sono_Hen introduced their new Japanese community, “Doushitara Ii Project” (“What should I do?”), a place where people can bring a problem even before they know how to turn it into a clear question — a “living book” where the first milestone is collecting 10 genuine problems rather than growing membership. read more

  • Thomas_Rother shared the Call for Participation for 40C3, which moves to the larger Hamburg Messe venue, and revived the idea of a Discourse operator meetup at the congress after last year’s attempt drew limited responses. read more

#Feature

  • Satonotdead wondered whether the thumbs up/down mechanism on ask.discourse could become a general feature, noting it’s an indispensable tool for monitoring AI replies. Falco clarified that thumbs up are likes and thumbs down are flags, and AdamWargon recalled that Codinghorror deliberately avoided a thumbs-down button to protect dialogue — prompting Satonotdead to suggest a thumbs up/down graph in the admin panel, independent of moderation. read more

  • SilentNewt95 proposed adding topic_template to CategoryLocalization so composer prefills match each member’s interface locale, with a fallback to the category’s default template. Their implementation sketch covers the trivial migration, admin UI work, and extending the AI Content Localization pipeline — motivated by a bilingual DE/EN community that currently lives with clunky bilingual checklist templates. read more

  • Tobiaseigen, inspired by the “private email” site setting, asked for a per-user preference so each member can decide their own risk profile for email notifications. Mcwumbly asked for illustrative scenarios to help shape the feature. read more

Support

#Extras

  • Sam ran an unattended test of the Discourse MCP server using DeepSeek 4.1 flash, the Chrome DevTools MCP, and Qwen 3 Image to build a complete theme from the original brief — costing around $1.52 off-peak at 99% cache read vs. an estimated $50–100 for GPT-6 Astra. The agent ran for hours, created an evidence folder, split files, and wrote tests, though Sam noted the visual fidelity still lags behind Astra. read more

#Announcements

  • Martin introduced the new category hashtag floating cards experimental upcoming change, which also improves subcategory hashtag display. Bartv quickly asked whether the cards can be permanently disabled and how users navigate from them to the topic list, while Mcwumbly reminded everyone the feature is enabled on Meta so you can try it right now. There’s also a known separator bug that Martin is still investigating.

  • Nat announced that Discourse now ships with a built-in MCP server, allowing AI apps to search topics, summarize discussions, create posts, and more — with admins controlling permissions and scopes. The server is disabled by default, and Satonotdead has already started planning lightweight client tests.

  • Nat also shared a new Ask AI dashboard section at /admin, including a “What users are asking” report that groups questions by subject. The report can be exported and optionally sent as a weekly PM to selected groups.

  • Lindsey announced three new Workflow nodes for Boards: Create board, Create board column, and Card moved trigger. You can now automate Kanban board creation, column setup, and card movement on Business and Enterprise plans.

  • The easier account signup using email codes topic got important updates: Rishabh shared how to opt out of random username generation, and Keegan pushed an improvement to the flow for sites requiring staff approval. Moin also reported a possible conflict with the invite code site setting that prevents signup emails from being sent.

  • Nat announced Discourse’s new built-in MCP server, letting AI apps search, read, summarize, and even write to your community after a user approves access. The server is disabled by default and includes moderation and site-setting tools for staff. See the announcement and the earlier Built-in MCP server project topic for context.

  • Nat also introduced the new Ask AI dashboard section, which shows admins what users are asking, tracks unanswered questions, and can email weekly reports. More in What users are asking with Ask AI, with a link back to the original Search better in your community with Ask AI feature. Mcwumbly connected it to the AI discoveries and search UX project.

  • The unified new view for the topic list continues to generate feedback: Seanblue misses seeing unread replies without opening the New tab, Gunnar says disabling the unified view restores the Unread link in the Discourse iOS app, and Moin still wants a way to show both counts in DiscourseHub. Weigh in on the announcement topic.

  • Lindsey shared three new Workflow nodes for Boards — Create board, Create board column, and Card moved — so admins can automate Kanban board creation and card movement on Business and Enterprise plans. Read the announcement.

  • The category hashtag floating cards update drew mixed reactions: Bartv feels the extra step hurts UX, while Jagster notes admins can choose whether to enable it. Check the improvements topic, plus the related discussion about inline subcategory links.

#Site feedback

  • Darkpixlz suggested that LLM-generated themes and plugins should be tagged as such, so users can avoid installing low-quality AI-produced assets. RGJ countered that LLM-generated code is not inherently bad, and Satonotdead agreed that all AI output still needs human auditing. Read the full discussion

#Announcements

  • Discourse announced category hashtag floating cards and improved subcategory hashtag display. However, Bartv and Jagster both expressed skepticism in the announcement thread, questioning the added value over direct links and the extra step for users. See their feedback
  • The new review queue layout thread continued to see activity as Ethsim2 confirmed that adding logged_in_users to the relevant site setting resolves access issues for anonymous users.

#Feature

  • Roberto_Capodieci shared Chat Bridge, a plugin that puts your forum’s Discourse chat on other websites via a single script tag. The plugin runs inside Discourse to avoid API key, rate-limit, and CORS issues, and supports channels, DMs, voice messages, and per-site styling. However, Darkpixlz retracted a like after spotting a caveat. Check out the plugin
  • Canapin reported that pressing Enter after triggering a quick search no longer opens the advanced search page — a feature they used frequently. The report includes steps to reproduce and a question about which category the issue belongs to. View the bug report
  • The long-running request to allow users to delete their own topics with no replies at any time gained a thoughtful comment from Robbie.Morrison, who argued the feature should remain site-specific and that the current 24-hour limit should stay as the default.

They also asked for help reviewing a PR that would add a general gallery setting, inviting sponsored code review. Get the update

bug

  • The classic editing a post takes me back many posts issue resurfaced. Gingerbeardman reproduced it on a forum running an old version, and Moin confirmed that the forum is on v3.6.0.beta1-dev, over a year old, implying the bug has since been fixed. Investigate the redux
  • Thomas_Rother tested API-key access for private, group-internal events and found that granular scopes do not permit filtering events by user group, even with the events scope listed in the docs. See the test results
  • A new search bug was reported by Canapin: going from quick search to advanced search sometimes replaces the search terms with the literal “undefined”. The bug is reproducible but intermittent. Watch the demo
