We’re self-hosting too - forum.easyuni.com - a site in Asia for students to search, compare and “apply” to universities locally or abroad.
For the past several months we’ve been working on integrating Discourse more closely with our site (and a new version of the site).
Here’s how we use Discourse:
- 1st level categories are countries (study destinations)
- 2nd level are colleges in those countries
Every college published on the site would get it’s own category in Discourse. Then, on a college profile page we display the latest topics from its category in Discourse.
