But you are assuming that we actually WANT to migrate, which is NOT the
case.
LOL, I've noticed! ;-)

I believe there is a plugin for that with Discourse:

I was thinking about HyperKitty and if it had RSS support that would make it workable. I
already use RSS quite a bit and having the feed come through that and to be able to select
items through there and launch into HyperKitty would be very workable - and apparently RSS
support for HyperKitty / Mailman 3 has been in the works for years now, but AFAIK not much
has happened with it. I submitted another post regarding that. Regarding NNTP I've
haven't used newsreaders in years and to be honest dealing with yet another tool
isn't something I would want to do... probably the same as people here not wanting to
use Discourse.
