It seems it was recently made possible to connect discourse instances to the fediverse - perhaps an idea for improvement: Discourse and the Fediverse!
If moderation (effort) is not negatively impacted… - have not dived deep into the pros / cons.

it turns Discourse categories and tags into “actors” that Fediverse users can follow.
That’s a pretty neat way to do it. The whole of Discourse might easily get overwhelming, but splitting it into multiple "user account"s and enabling us to follow particular categories and/or tags of interest makes this make a lot more sense.
I like the rough idea here, but I really don’t understand the details — even after reading that meta post and looking for the examples.
More fundamentally, though, unfortunately the ActivityPub plugin isn’t one of the available plugins on our hosting tier.
