Beyond typical forum functionality, Discourse integrates well with email
and RSS. Something to consider for low-frequency mailing list groups:
there may be projects and communities that benefit by officially moving
communication to Discourse. Although I have no data to back up the
claim, I suspect having users interact on a more active platform could
generally increase engagement within KDE.
A nice feature of Discourse is: for mailing list subscribers who wish to
continue receiving posts in their mail clients,
Is it really? I remember once that i visited, commented on a post and never
ever got emails when people answered me on that post. I am not a crazy person
that plans visiting discuss.kde.org every 5 minutes just in case someone has
answered me, the site must send me an email and in my 1 time experience it
failed to do so.
Is this with "mailing list mode" enabled?
I think what you are describing is related to general email settings for
notifications. This can be found under Profile > Preferences > Emails.
This looks like the relevant place: "Email me when I am quoted, replied
to, my @username is mentioned, or when there is new activity in my
watched categories, tags or topics." Perhaps check your settings there?
Note there may also be relevant settings under Profile > Preferences >
Tracking for "tracking" and "watching", word choices which do not make
the distinction clear, in my opinion. Right now I am not well-informed
about the options here.
However, I am testing "mailing list mode" and I receive dozens of emails
a day for the categories I did not mute (see info below). I have not
tested the reply by email function yet, though.
Cheers,
Joseph
it is possible to follow
discussions via RSS or by enable mailing list mode in Discourse. It
takes some setting up; see below for more.
Info about using Discourse with email and RSS:
* Users can enable "Mailing list mode", which allows one to receive
and respond to posts via email (i.e., just like a mailing list). By
default, users receive posts to /all/ categories -- limiting posts to
specific categories requires manually "muting" the other categories. See
the community wiki for more detail, including how to mute categories:
https://community.kde.org/KDE.org/KDE_Forums#Mailing_List_Mode
* Alternatively, one can follow specific categories, tags, etc. as an
RSS feed. Again, see the community wiki for details:
