我正在考虑将一个写作社区迁移到 Discourse

I’ve spent a couple of hours looking into Discourse and I can say that I’m very intimidated by it. The curve to get into it looks huge!

I think the following quote (and topic) may help you navigate some of the intimidation:

@meglio

There is some magic in what people feel when they get used to the Discourse-way of doing things. It irritates almost everyone when they try it, but then it gradually makes people happy, then extremely happy, then they become addicted to this discussion engine. I know what I’m talking about — I spoke to tens of them, and absolutely all of them, even the most haters, eventually fell in love with our forum, and can’t use competitors forums anymore.

And the quote above refers to Ukrainian goat farmers using the platform back in 2017, many whom didn’t know computers well.

I as well felt intimidated by Discourse in the beginning (and definitely still do at times now) and yet it has grown on me so much.
