Hi everyone, been looking in to Flarum and alternatives for a few months (Dicord, Discourse, Slack, etc) and having tested a few services and ideas it looks like Flarum is the way to go.
The main reasons are self-hosted, an actual forum rather than live chat and i've been impressed with what i've seen so far.
So the community I want to build is an environmental "movement" based on volunteers (anyone) to join and work on about 10-20 projects together through ideation, working on the project, launching, ongoing work and finalising the projects.
Some are web based and i'll be using Drupal for this and others are in real life (volunteering at events), etc.
I have a few questions and would love to hear peoples feedback based on your experience with Flarum.
The community will come in three missions, learn about nature, environmental projects and gear we use.
For learn about nature, i want to have an identification forum where people can upload sounds or images of what they've seen and the community help ID and learn about that. I'm guessing this is possible out of the box?
I also want to set up monthly "lessons" where we learn about a particular subject for that month. Any ideas here?
For the environment we will have a number of projects that we launch and one will be about event aid stations and how they'r set up. I want to be able to work out the best suggestions from the community and then promote those ideas to the final iteration as a framework.
For the gear section, i want to find out durability of gear people are using, for instance, one project is durability of trainers that people wear, would it be simple as just compiling peoples replies based on a template they copy and fill in and then put that data somewhere else?
Basically, i've already decided on and started to set up Flarum on my website but just looking for some thoughts and ideas from people about how they've set up communities based on real life projects/online projects and any extensions that will help with this.
Thanks
