Answers to some of the questions: What is your Forem? Can you share a link or is it still private?
I am currently working on a Forem to share Linux knowledge for beginners. I will be learning Linux over the next few months and want a community to share with and learn from.
The url is still currently private but after I add a few posts I will make it publicly available.
If you self-host, did you have trouble setting up your Forem? Can you give advice to anyone else looking to self-host?
I was one of the first people not on our systems team to test out Forem self-host so I definitely had some trouble 😅 I have now set up Forems on AWS, DigitalOcean, and Google Cloud. My current Forem is on DigitalOcean.
I created some guides to help others setting up their Forems.
What are you looking to achieve with Forem?
I want a community where people feel safe to learn from and grow with others if they are on a similar journey to learn Linux as I am.
What is not working with your current solution?
Usually I share posts like this on DEV or other platforms but I wanted dedicated space to capture all of my learnings and give the opportunity for others to share as well.
What do you feel is missing from your Forem that would help engage your community?
I know we have talked internally about a more feature rich editor. I'd love to provide an editing experience for my community that doesn't rely on markdown. I know this is something other communities would like as well.
