#social-news

A live window into Discourse's own official community forum (meta.discourse.org), the flagship instance of the most widely used modern forum platform, as an API. Pull the latest topics with their reply, view and like counts; the top topics of a day, week, month or year; the category list with topic counts; or a user's profile (trust level, join date). The traditional threaded-forum experience delivered as clean JSON for social, news-aggregation and community-dashboard apps. Live data, no key. Distinct from link-aggregators and microblogs — this is forum software.

Pull the hottest link and thread entries with their magazine, score and comment count; browse the microblog post feed; search or browse magazines (communities) with their subscriber counts; or fetch a single magazine. The federated link-aggregator front page delivered as clean JSON for social, news-aggregation and community-dashboard apps. Live data, no key. Distinct from Lemmy and Mastodon — Mbin is its own software and API.
