In a community-driven effort to catalog public Discourse-powered sites, ktm initiated a GitHub repository called “Discourse Subdomains” to analyze subdomain usage patterns. Contributors shared numerous Discourse instances, including IAmGav mentioning discoursehub.com and Discourse’s customer page, Canapin sharing forum.monocycle.info and unicyclist.com, and anon73664359 recommending BuiltWith’s Discourse trends page. mcdanlj listed several forums like makerforums.info and threejs.org, while TimDaub created an “awesome” GitHub list for crowd-sourced contributions. Canapin encouraged consolidating links from multiple sources. Decorbuz noted Roblox’s use of Discourse at devforum.roblox.com. RGJ shared data showing “forum” is the most common subdomain (31%), followed by “community” (15%), with TLDs dominated by .com (49%). Decorbuz humorously guessed talk.macpowerusers.com fits the “talk” subdomain category. merefield asked about TLDs, prompting RGJ to share the breakdown. AquaL1te suggested using wiki posts and added forum.tzm.community and forum.fairphone.com. Jeremie_Leroy contributed forum.francaisalondres.com. Finally, Canapin pointed to the official Discourse Discover page as a centralized resource.
My aim is to collect as many as possible public Discourse sites in this “Discourse Subdomains” list at github. The list is sorted by 3rd level subdomains. I’m doing a research to find out what kind of subdomains people are using to host Discourse and how popular are certain subdomains.
Feel free to add any yet not listed discourse instance to the list either:
directly at github via a pull request (the repo takes part at Hacktoberfest!) or
post it directly here in this topic.
If you know a good source of such discourse instances or know a good search query to pull this kind of data from Google - please let me know
You can already add all the links provided on the first post link, Discourse customers, and those listed by users on this topic. It would be a better start than having only a handful of links.
