Is there a showcase somewhere of communities using discourse?
Nice! Just what I was looking for 
So if you install your software yourself like @ http://treasureterrain.com/
you can’t be on that list in the LINK?
Generally not no, I don’t think anyone maintains a public directory of Discourse sites.
There was a topic where hundreds of Discourse sites were posted but it was deleted a few years ago.
It was my favorite topic because of the interesting sites I could see. The topic definitely required curation because attrition was a serious problem which might be why codinghorror removed it. Many sites only operated until their initial Digital Ocean credit expired.
Now we occasionally see some topics like this:
Any thoughts on this? Websites using Discourse. “Download a list of all 16,773 Current Discourse Customers” Is that likely to be accurate? Big difference from the " 1,500+ customers and counting" nominated at Discourse customers | Discourse - Civilized Discussion
Discourse is open source, many people self host. We love that.
A core mission of Discourse is increasing general adoption and making sure everyone has a chance to run a their own forum.
Our showcase focuses on our customers, they are people that pay us a monthly hosting fee.
I’m interested in this because Discourse is commonly underrated in usage and market-share statistics that I’ve seen.
Describing all websites using Discourse as “customers” is not accurate as it is only an assumption by builtwith.com. “Clients” or “users” would be better terms because they allow for both non-financial and remote relationships.
The numbers at builtwith.com could be confirmed because they list them all if you’re prepared to pay for them:
16,773 live + 10,895 past = 27,668 historical websites
16,773 live + 72,108 redirects = 88,881 current URLs
This appears to be a more complete list than sites like similartech.com (9,303), wappalyzer.com (3,700) and whatcms.com (1,354). But all of them only count public-facing instances so the many private intranet and home server instances won’t be counted by any of them.
另一个大型社区,不知何故不在 discourse.org/customers 的顶级社区之列,是 Brave 浏览器论坛,拥有超过 15 万会员。不确定 Solana 是如何被选中的,只有 1140 名会员。也许 Brave 是自托管的?
为了回答最初的问题,现在还有 Discourse Discover,这是一个 Discourse 论坛的展示平台
Brave 被隐藏在某种无限滚动之下。我现在看到了。
我在 Discourse Discover 中没有看到 Ask LibreOffice。
也许管理员没有启用将论坛包含在 Discourse Discover 中的设置。
