I’m familiar with this forum Platform, it is used everywhere.
Can we expand the Categories?
Here are some I frequent for inspiration:
The platform is called Discourse, in case you didn’t know. It’s open-source and free to use, by the way.
If you interested in examples here is a big list of them.
But you didn’t mention which categories you’re proposing to add?
I would say that would be more open-ended consideration
Suggested categories by others and possibly implemented.
I’d say let’s create a list first, and then we can ask the admins to add those categories. Asking to add something without even knowing what exactly it is seems pointless to me.

They can add it here that was the point.
Should be done over time, not just on a whim.
You could add some here if you have good ideas.
Great. In that case, I would clean up the first message and leave only the list of topics we’re suggesting to add.
I’m an admin in a dozen different communities. To be honest, I stopped suggesting categories a long time ago. Very few people understand what belongs where, and I constantly have to go around hitting everyone with a stick, explaining that the topic doesn’t fit.
Just inspiration.
Here are few that was DM’ed, recommended to me.
- Bug Support or Technical Support (vs Need Help)
- Tutorials, Tips and Tricks (vs Need Help)
A collection of tutorials, tips and tricks shared by the community - Lounge
A place for all general discussions about 3D technologies or other stuffs (CNC, 3d Printing, etc..)
Will continuously add more…

Few I noticed while reviewing other forums.
-
Works in Progress (addition to Share your creation)
-
Off topics/Water Cooler
In this section, you can post other topics that don’t fit the other sections of the forum. -
Getting Started (populated by Official and unofficial links to tutorials)
Enable tags..
Example, Modeling, Rendering, Drawing, Mesh, 3d Printing, CNC, Architecture, Woodworking, Engineering, Crafts, Carpentry
Some might wonder why additional Categories, the purpose would be to better organize and make it easier to search.
As an admin you could consider moving it to correct categories.
