Before the daggers come out.... please take some time to checkout Fedora Discourse https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ and read the Foreman community link above.

As I had previously mentioned, Discourse allows for RSS feeds and email notifications. It also has a mailing list mode.

RSS is going away. And part of that, Mozilla is removing built-in RSS support in Firefox 64.


Well, for the moment, Discourse supports it (as well as Fedora updates) - and FWIW I've never used RSS Support in Fx. I use Tiny Tiny RSS and Inoreader and have yet to have a problem adding a feed from a site. There are also many many other clients available - too many to list here.

If it goes away however, such is life - and I'll use the next best thing.


And anyway.. Firefox is dropping built-in support for RSS, but you'll be able to use RSS in Firefox through web extensions (or just use another browser or an external application).

Let me add a personal consideration on this regard.
I'm deleting 90% of emails coming in this mailing list, but I have to be subscribed and filter tens of threads every day just to get the 10% I'm interested in. If you sum it day by day, it's a lot of waste.

In Discourse I'd be able to receive emails posted in the section I'm interested in. Or I may want to receive no email at all, just a notification on the website.
My email client wouldn't be loaded of stuff I don't need.
My mind would be happier too :-)
