How to use a Reddit-clone to boost company culture

Or use Discourse which offers many of the same benefits without the "rush to see who can post the most upvoted image and win" dynamic, and potential for more substantive discussions!

Bonus, you don't have to write any extra code either. Well unless you want to contribute ...

We're doing this for our high school robotics club and it's great!

We do a variety of things including FIRST. We also compete in CyberPatriots, PicoCTF, the Northrop Grumman Challenge, the Raytheon Engineering Challenge, along with a few other things. We also teach programming to anyone who's interested.

I replied in more depth, but it came down to making it private and authenticating against our own app via oauth. Hacking existing solutions seemed like more work than building our own. Plus it's fun to make things.

I guess setting up discourse is too heavy for this use case. The same may be applied to the original reddit source, but at least reddit comes with a VM image.

Discourse has a VM image (vagrant) too: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGR...
