This is Fluent Community by the looks of it. How is it? Is it really as isolated from the rest of WP as some suggests?

It is and it is! Could really get away with free version but pro adds some nice features to it.

Donald McGuinn how come you went with Fluent Community instead of Suredash? They seem to have an even better deal than Fluent Community 🤔

Christina i tried SD, and nothing was prebuilt. FC everything was up and running in 45 mins. Im gonna be honest, i gave SD like 10 minutes of effort. So it might not have been a fair chance haha.

Donald McGuinn haha fair enough. I was just asking because you're a fan of suretriggers and I figured it would have made sense to stay in the sure-world :)

Christina ok I just tried it and it is definitely still in alpha stage as it says. But no private message function. No moderation. Not as good looking either. But it does allow for custom pages which I like and events is upcoming. But a lot of stuff still just doesn’t work. Very hard to do.

Donald McGuinn Thanks that helps a lot. Really thinking about purchasing the FC LTD, but I'm also curious how many social features will be implemented with VOXEL natively. What bugs me the most with FC is that the profile here is separate from the one that is created when signing up on a VOXEL site. In an ideal world, we could have a directory and community all-in-one solution.

Christina yeah that would be ideal. Voxel does have some great functions coming too. But no moderation or leaderboards and a few others.

oho an also, it took about 30-45 minutes to setup, and that was me doing it for the first time. So next time, will be an easy 15-20 minutes to setup depending on number of spaces creating.

Why do I think VX has something like this already 🤔?

Daniel Butcher voxel does have the ability to have timelines, groups, DMs, all that. The thing that is missing from it would be things like request to join groups, moderation, and leaderboard.

Daniel Butcher plus look at the sidebar, we have recent activity, as well as trending posts, and a lot more. Voxel does well for most of what FluentCommunity can do for sure.
