Considering how SO is killing itself rather quickly, it would be interesting to have a platform with similar structure but taking users interests instead of profit of executives. I am not saying their system is perfect, I have made a post in the past on their meta community regarding how hard it is for new contributors to start. I remember hearing about an alternative but after searching for it, I couldn’t find anything.

Does anyone know such platform?

Edit: After I posted I came across Codidact. I will try using it! Feel free to post other alternatives though!

    Oh. I was thinking opensource and the organizations above that pay for Discourse to host for them a are non-profit. I don’t know why I read the post body and forgot about the title.

    I guess programming.dev sorta fits except the UI is different. Maybe someone can create a frontend that mimics the Stack Overflow UI.

      Discourse is fine, thank you for sharing! I visit a few forums on Discourse but I didn’t know there are so many communities forming using it.
