I don’t think anyone has properly identified a use case yet.

AMP sounds nice on the surface, but even light research uncovers a litany of issues, particularly if you decide to try and disable AMP down the line.

- What would you use AMP for in a community setting? The first post in a topic?
- How would discourse interact with the amp cache?
- How would readers see subsequent responses?
- If it’s only for content being replicated from a wordpress site, wouldn’t the native AMP plugin there be easier?

AMP gets placement priority, but it’s not a magic SEO bullet for communities. Discourse already has a snappy mobile experience, AMP can’t beat that. If it doesn’t add something meaningful then why use it?
