Hey Discourse Team
We are using Discourse to build a community for our news magazine.
Currently, we have a forum for each of our articles. We would like to maintain this feature and also offer a community that is independent of articles. Could you describe how we could use Discourse with an API for the article forum?
Additionally, we want to offer users a personal feed similar to a social media stream. How can we do this with Discourse? Which plugin can we use to create this view?
Do you have a category or topic per article, or is it a full Discourse forum per article?
There’s not a plugin that can do this yet, we’ve done some experimentation with group-based feeds that are sort of in the same ballpark… but not on the individual level. Discourse is more of a community platform than something interchangable with social media (which tends to focus more on the individual)
Hi Nate, thanks for your reply. No, we’re still working with outdated software at the moment, namely Phorum. We’d really like to change that, which is why we’re currently looking at Discourse. We find it exciting, but haven’t found this feature yet. Here you can see an example forum of ours: Golem.de: IT-News für Profis
It was created with the publication of this article through integration into our system: Golem.de: IT-News für Profis
We will need a solution like this in the future as well.

Looks similar to how Discourse integrates their blog articles in Blog - Discourse Meta.
