Hi all.
We (egroupware.org) decided in 2017 to replace our mailing lists (sourceforge),
which were also available via Nabble. We often had technical difficulties and
no control over them.
Relatively quickly it was clear to us that we wanted to use Discourse as a
replacement.
One of the main reasons was that Discourse also has a mailing list mode. As a
user, you can have all contributions sent to you as e-mails (or not, or per
category). I can reply to posts and also create new topics via email.
Our Forum now:
https://help.egroupware.org/
The disadvantage is that the mails are listed flat in the mailer. Discourse
follows a strategy of linear discussions. Although you can also reply to
individual posts.
For some, the fact that you have to register is also a disadvantage. But that
was the same for us before with the interaction of Sourceforge and Nabble.
Discourse takes some getting used to, but because it's so widespread, it's
certainly not very unfamiliar.
We would do it exactly the same way again today.

Recently, I received the following message from Nabble:
We are downsizing Nabble to one server. If you want to preserve your forum:
http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/
Then you should follow the instructions here:
http://support.nabble.com/Downsizing-Nabble-tp7609715.html";
The instructions mentioned above are simple enough (I would need to
post to the thread to request the forum be preserved), but I'm
questioning whether it's worth continuing to use the Nabble platform.
While its forum interface is comfortably familiar for many users,
Nabble has been pretty problematic:
* Users still need to correctly subscribe to the mailing list or their
posts will not be received, even though they appear to have posted
successfully within Nabble.
* Messages sent from Nabble's servers frequently get marked as spam
and end up not received by mailing list subscribers, regardless of
whether the user posting the message is subscribed.
Any thoughts on maybe just ... not using Nabble any longer? I'd think
just sending an email to the list really should be simple enough, and
the website can be updated to make this process more clear.
