Doesn't help that I have to scroll left and right to read the text on mobile though. Would be nice to have a forum software that's: * lightweight * mostly web

  If you subtract the web 1.0 requirement, then Discourse might be for you.

    Discourse is 80% good and sane defaults, but 20% utterly unbearable tut-tutting by people who seem convinced they know how other people should run their communities. As a user, you will be constantly nudged and prodded and notified, and as an admin you can't do anything about it. e.g. I would like weekly summaries mailed. You can't, you can only get summaries if you haven't visited the site in a while. Because it's not a feature designed to help users keep track of the site, but a lure designed to bring inactive users back to the site. This is how the people who build it think, and it is irritating af. It's gen-Z style mothering and busybodying and it needs to die in a fire.

  My suspicion is that unusable websites on mobile is one third lack of motivation or awareness (as in old websites), one third incompetence (where an attempt was made but it isn't useable) and one third deliberate to force you onto an app (masquerading as incompetent).

  I have round the D forum to be quite pleasant, although I don't really use it: https://forum.dlang.org/ https://forum.dlang.org/ But my favorite remains mailing lists with a web interface, like on sourcehut: https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/public-inbox https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/public-inbox. It's hard to beat it in terms of lightweightness
