I corresponded with an install customer today who tried and failed to replace Facebook with Discourse. Things that I would try include:
- make the facebook group read-only
- contrive to post links to Discourse topics to the facebook group
- configure facebook logins
I assume that Facebook Groups must be better than the “discussions” I see in people’s feeds on facebook, but for those, it is virtually impossible to follow an entire conversation. Whenever I see a topic/thread I’d like to read I almost always give up because it takes like 2 clicks per message to be able to see them all.
