I’ve been trying to figure out how to allow users to create subforums , that would work like slack channels. One of the suggestions was to use tags. So a user would create a tag (or an app I build would do it through the api), and that tag’s page would function like the subforum’s page. The questio…

What you want to create is not something Discourse is aimed for. You want a Reddit/Discord platform, where people can come and create subreddits/servers they “own” while your retain all control and monetization of the platform.

I appreciate that this is not the normal use case, but I would definitely like to find a way to do this with Discourse, given how awesome discourse is. And I can get decently close–I create a tag with the API, and send users to the tag page that acts like the subforum page. The key piece i am missin…

[image] JQ331: The key piece i am missing is the ability to limit users who can post with that tag. That key piece is not something on the roadmap, and not something we plan to add. There were many topics on this over the years: [image] User-Created Categories feature …

[image] Falco: There were many topics on this over the years: I’ve seen those. One difference here is that I am happy to build out an entirely separate app that then interacts with the discourse API to give the user the experience of creating a subgroup. So I can create the subgroup myself in…

It seems like I could just add a custom field related to the given subforum (say, ‘subforum123’) to each permitted user, and then when a user goes to a subforum page hit the api…
