KDE Discuss is the official forum for KDE. This page contains some useful information for developers, contributors, and users who wish to use the forums.
For more information about KDE Discuss, including the Code of Conduct, see the Forum FAQ.
Developer badges
Developer badges are used to easily identify KDE developers in the forum. The developer badge is the blue KDE logo to the lower right of the developer's profile picture.
To obtain a developer badge, you must have a developer account and log in to KDE Discuss "as KDE Contributor" through Invent.
You can see a list of developers with a badge here.
Adding tags
Everyone can add new tag: just create a post and write a tag (existing one are auto-completed).
Tags are used to organize content and filter topics. See this Discourse blog post about using tags.
New top-level categories will generally not be added to the forum. Users should use tags to categorize their posts.
Following RSS Feeds
It is possible to follow RSS feeds using discuss.kde.org. For example:
- To follow categories: https://discuss.kde.org/c/[category_name].rss - To follow tags: https://discuss.kde.org/tag/[tag_name].rss
See [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-rss-feeds-list/264134) at the Discourse forum for more examples.
Mailing List Mode
Forum users can enable "Mailing list mode" under Profile > Preferences > Emails > Mailing list mode. You can either receive an email for all posts, or for all but your own.
One advantage of mailing list mode is that you can reply to posts by email. To respond via email, click "Reply" in your mail client. That's it!
By default you are subscribed to posts for all categories. To disable notifications for a specific category, visit the category page and mute it in the notification preference menu (i.e., the bell symbol).
General questions
General questions and comments can be posted to Site Feedback. Note that questions and comments are visible to everyone.
Report a bug
Precise and concrete bug reports should be reported to Bugzilla at https://bugs.kde.org.
Basic or vague help requests for KDE apps should be posted at the forum's Help category. If you are not sure whether an issue is a bug or not, please post to the Help category.
