Thanks Akhil Naidu. I have been following forem platform evolution to consider it as an option for bringing a special interest community group. I would like to have most of the features that I notice and appreciate in dev.to, the practical implementation of forem.dev
Are there stable open-source platforms that I can use now and later migrate it to forem.dev based platform? I need blogging, commenting, user feedback, email notification, newsletters and some kind of inbox algorithms to feed relevant posts and comments?
I am an Engineering Physics graduate from IIT Guwahati, but merely not restricted to Physics itself. In the past few years, I involved in many Cybersecurity blogging and now on Open-source.
If I remember correctly, someone already raised a similar concern a long time ago, but he was concerned about migrating from Discourse
And the reply from the Forem team was, not in the current state. So if that was not possible, it is hard to consider there exists a seperate open source which will be compatible with Forem.

If you can create your open-source with similar data tables like Forem, (which is highly not suggestive for small projects), you can use postgres dump command to migrate your database. In fact that is how any migration tool works.
As for the second option, I already helped @gurulhc
to install his Forem for his community and using Forem for my own Community. If you want to consider this as an option you can ping me in Forem through Forem chat or email me.

But there are few options to consider.
