Discourse is *still* unable to send out useful email notifications, so
it's largely invisible to me.
Rich.
I'm happy to help, as its functions can be confusing and often hidden: you can subscribe to tags and categories respectively, and decide if you get of a specific tag/category only the first mail of each topic (=threat) or all subsequent posts too [1], but also more possibilities to adjust. At the same time, you can at the bottom of each topic manually set the very topic to "watched" to get emails about it. You can respond to all emails.
I'm aware that there are still limitations compared to mailing lists, and I am myself not a proponent of dissolving the mailing list as long as these cannot be tackled, but communications takes place increasingly on Discourse, and it is useful to keep one case/discussion together at some place. Otherwise we have split the community and groups that likely should hear each other will not. At the same time, keeping things together avoids redundancy.
Despite it being not yet able to replace a mailing list, if I can help somehow with discourse, feel free to let me know, I often experienced that Discourse can already do what people want but it is not always easy to find it (I am Discourse mod for years but still regularly find out it can stuff I did not know about before). (that might be done better by direct email or PM:)
[1] this can be configured for your user account here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/u/rjones/preferences/tracking
Others can just replace the username by their own, or navigate in the user preferences -> Tracking.
Best,
Chris
