The best way - he had already identified the need and wrote it a while ago

HI @tobiaseigen, long time indeed. The response I got to offcourse suggested there wasn’t much demand for it and I abandoned it. I’ve also drifted away from discourse (and ember).
Might need to get back into it soon though. I’m working on a real estate project now called PropertyWebBuilder and I could do with having a forum for it.
Will send you a PM.

I completely concur with your vision.
I’ve just killed a project that attempted to migrate users off of a Facebook Group.
I failed.
Despite offering them a superior set of Discourse functionality, including bespoke plugins I had written to provide really rich domain functionality that blew a hole in Zucks side the one feature I could not compete with was the ability to show an aggregation of all the interest groups they were subscribed to.
“We loved your website, Robert, but it was just more convenient to scroll down Facebook” 
If we had a single web page and web app that could show a feed of all your many Discourse site accounts now that would be just great.
Perhaps an RSS reader would suffice. Has anyone tried this? But ultimately you need a way to access with your individual accounts in the way the (excellent) iOS app does.

This is conceptually great, but why was it written in React? If you build a tool for a big population of Discourse users, many of whom may be actively contributing plugins and Theme Components based on Ember, wouldn’t it be a good idea to write the app using Ember to help secure future support from the community?
It is a false dichotomy though, an alternate directory would still exist outside Facebook so nobody would go there. The only answer is incredibly compelling unique content, same as it ever was.

But I’m using your team’s wonderful app all the time, and all it’s missing is a feed

I wrote a proposal to tackle this exact problem: mix in many different Discourse activity in a central and social user feed.
You can follow your peers in Mastodon and add your “groups” (Discourse instances that you care about, like one about a game you like, one about your ioio hobby, etc) to be interleaved in your forum.
We can also do the same by making a robust Facebook / Twitter integration, that periodically picks a random topic/post from /top and puts it on social media. This is all possible already, but not easy for non-technical people.

I follow many Discourse forums with my feed reader.
What I do is scrap the HTML and convert it to a feed.
Got it nailed pretty well by now, not only for Discourse, but for any other site.
This way, no need for the blackbox algorithms, it is all under my control.

Me interesaría algo un poco menos ambicioso para empezar: simplemente agrupar varias instancias de Discourse bajo mi propio control. Tener sitios distintos permite que cada uno se centre en un tema o audiencia diferente, pero tiene algunos inconvenientes. Sería agradable:
- compartir la moderación de usuarios entre sitios
- poder mover publicaciones e hilos
- tener notificaciones compartidas

Esto podrías hacerlo convirtiendo uno de los foros en el servidor SSO para los demás.
Creo que lo otro sería bastante difícil, aunque supongo que podría hacerse mediante un plugin y la API, pero suena a miles en costos de desarrollo y bastante trabajo de mantenimiento.
Resulta que “no”. Lo descubrí de la manera difícil: deshabilitar la cuenta SSO de un usuario en el lado del SSO no impide que publique si ya ha iniciado sesión.
Sí, seguirán con la sesión iniciada. Tendrías que agregar algún tipo de webhook para cerrarles la sesión en los foros afiliados. Creo que sería bastante fácil implementarlo en un plugin, quizás una hora o dos para un desarrollador talentoso (¡y un poco más para mí!)

¿Alguien conoce alguno que funcione en Windows o en un navegador web?
¿Podrías aclarar qué estás pidiendo? No entiendo lo que preguntas.
