FoL uses plugins for like the vc and thus uses an old version of discourse so probably more work than average

if you’re self-hosting it can be difficult

if you go with an established hosting service who is experienced with discourse it’s basically as easy as just paying them and bada bing bada boom

obviously the extent you want to customize it also matters

if you have your own server that you’re planning to install it on then frankly if you know enough to get the server set up you should be just fine to host the discourse instance lel

if you don’t own dedicated server hardware then I’d probably just look at paying a provider

also lowkey we could upgrade discourse versions, but

  1. that’s a lot of work we don’t need to do, especially to make it look the way we want

  2. the new features are by and large on the spectrum from “uncompelling” to “we actively do not want this”

  3. the plugins we have break with the new versions so we’d need to rewrite them

  4. low user demand for a big shakeup

like yeah sure i get why the discourse devs would be all about making their site kinda slack/discord-ish in ways to solve the shoutbox problem but like lowkey the cookie thread is pretty fun and I think we all like having it as our “chatroom” solution

it’s for an author group so thread categories+tags are extremely appealing
