Exploring Discourse as a platform for student-led learning communities, with a particular focus on self-hosting, authentication, moderation workflows, plugins, calendars/ICS integration, and admin tooling.

I enjoy learning from other admins’ experiences, testing and documenting edge-cases, and sharing practical setup or maintenance notes that may help the wider Discourse community
