Fluxer apparently has that on their roadmap. https://blog.fluxer.app/roadmap-2026/

As part of #3, I'd also like to add the ability to publish forums to the open web. That way, people can discover, archive, and access discussions without logging in.

Sounds great. I hope it has video chat and screenshare or will implement it soon.

They do have those things from what I can tell.

As someone who has spent the last 2+ years testing revolt/stoat, matrix with element, and teamspeak, desperately searching for any viable discord alternative, I'm very interested in this. Where did you come across it? I tried to create an account but stuck pulsing on a loading screen.

One of my friends' husbands brought it up, so good old word of mouth.

I did notice I wasn't able to get logged in last night, though the night before I was able to make an account without issue. I wonder if they got a hug of death like Stoat did.

Haha I opened a github issue on that and the main Dev confirmed they were getting the HoD.

I saw earlier that Zulip already has that option, but I still would much prefer a regular old forum.
