The Gamification of Discourse

I’d like to feature selected snippets of my Forum on the home page of Wordpress to create a Quora-like widget featuring the most popular post of the day.

This post alludes to embedding a thread and comments, but stops short of the ability to reply. Don’t know why that wasn’t included. Seems a bit like a “can’t give it to you that easy.”

Gamification seems to be the new way. I’d just like to focus everything on one snippet at a time on the home page. Think of it more like an app (Insta, TikTok, Quora) and less like a phone book.

Simplicity is key.

Can this be done?

Discourse is not an embedded commenting system. If you need that choose some other free open source software.
