Discourse is more lightweight? It's consistently the slowest loading software that I use and lags everywhere
I thought I did something wrong and it was just me... Alright, take Flarum then, that seems to work on a Raspberry Pi. Or NodeBB if that's still a thing... Why is Discourse so heavy and at the same time that popular?
I guess because it's featureful, easy and they provide a hosted, white labeled service. It's not great, but it's a safe useable bet. Most organizations don't want to worry about it too much
