I am setting up embedding of a Discourse forum and I am having trouble understanding how to make it work.

I’m not able to create topics by RSS at this stage so I need to do the creation manually.

My question is how does Discourse tie a topic to the page on the remote site?

(For my use case it would be simpler to put the required topic URL to embed in the JS snippet rather than ‘self’. Is that likely to be possible?)
