Of course, for my purposes it would be more convenient if all the Discourse Multisite forums were linked by a common user base. But it is not.

I have to choose and install a central SSO provider myself. About this and my whole question.

This is my target

**Why not one forum with subcategories:**

1. different domains for different related subjects (I don’t like forums about everything - it’s outdated a long time ago)
2. promotion of different narrow-topic forums with various tools
3. targeting advertisers on a narrower site / forum topic

**Why one user base**

1. It is more convenient to promote
2. It is more convenient for users if you do not need to register on another adjacent site
3. The mutual cross-pollination
