I've never been huge into social media or even blogging when that was en vogue, but I did set up a forum on my site a little over a year ago after realising how much of a black hole for technical discussion Discord has become. I use it as an easy way to document any screwball problems I run across when working with hardware and software, and occasionally people pop in and ask questions, so I'm glad I set it up.
Something I did notice is that Google recently added Discussions and forums as a metric in the Google Search Console, and forums is now an option in the More dropdown menu on Google.com.
- azemetre 1y agoWhat forum software did you use? I’m thinking about adding a forum to my site for the same reasons you gave. How long did it take before the first user signed up and posted?
- Venn1 1y agoI'm using wpForo since it integrates well with my CMS. The first users showed up in the first week, mostly because I directed YouTube questions that required posting error logs and the like to the forums. It has been a good tool for helping people out.
