Hello Community,
Hope you are fine.
I am looking for the list of essential Discourse plugins?
The plugins which should be installed right after the new installation.
Regards.

There are none! Discourse has all of the functionality you need to get started with a community right out of the box. Many folks who are used to platforms like WordPress look for plugins right away, but in a lot of cases they’re simply not necessary.
Our recommended approach is run the community for a while, and if there are features missing (like marking topics as solved, subscription support, or integrating with chat) or problems you’re looking to solve, then have a look at the #plugin directory here.
A word of caution: plugins can wholly and entirely break your Discourse instance if something goes wrong with the code. This can happen with #official plugins, but is especially true for 3rd party plugins simply because of how the release cycle works.
If you’re looking for mere visual enhancements, check out the #theme category, as themes will not have as broad of an impact on your site if something goes wrong.
