Required user level: Administrator
What is Discourse Discover?
Discourse Discover is a standalone site that makes it easy for anyone to find communities that use Discourse as their platform. It serves as a showcase of unique communities within the Discourse ecosystem, increasing your community’s visibility and allowing others to draw inspiration from the diversity of Discourse-powered sites.
How to join Discourse Discover
Opting in to Discourse Discover is a straightforward process:
Log in to your Discourse site as an administrator.
Go to Admin > Config > Site Admin, or navigate directly to /admin/config/site-admin.
Find the “include in discourse discover” setting (you can use the filter box to search for “discover”).
Check the checkbox next to “include in discourse discover”.
Your site will now be eligible for inclusion in Discourse Discover; sites are typically added within a few business days of submission.
Verifying your site’s inclusion
To verify that your site is correctly configured to be included in Discourse Discover, you can check your site’s basic information JSON file:
Add /site/basic-info.json to the end of your site’s URL. For example: https://yourdiscoursesite.com/site/basic-info.json
Look for the include_in_discourse_discover field in the JSON response.
Ensure its value is set to true.
Example:
{
"logo_url": "https://yourdiscoursesite.com/uploads/default/original/1X/logo.png",
"title": "Your Site Name",
"description": "Your site description",
"login_required": false,
"locale": "en",
"include_in_discourse_discover": true
}

The promotion of communities is at Discourse’s discretion.
I have opted into this since day one, and from what I can tell, my site has not been included. Is there a way for me to tell why? From what I can see, I have followed all the needed steps.
So I’m here suggesting a way to share the Discover link already filtered by language/country instances to make it easier to share. I know it’s a small request, but it makes a difference for me.
안녕하세요. 사이트가 공개되지 않은 상태에서 include_in_discourse_discover 설정을 활성화했습니다. 현재 사이트는 공개되어 있습니다(일부 카테고리는 회원 전용이지만 가입 시 승인이 필요하지 않음). Discover에 목록으로 표시되도록 다시 파이프라인에 참여하려면 어떻게 해야 하나요? Eupalinos.eu에서 감사드립니다.
한 가지 질문이 있습니다: Cloudflare의 Super Bot Fight가 왜 항상 Discover의 봇을 차단하나요? 꽤 오래전부터 Cloudflare에서 이 기능을 활성화할 때마다 Discover에서 제 계정이 제거됩니다. 목록 표시용 봇이 인스턴스의 정보 .json 파일에 접근할 수 없기 때문입니다.
