FWIW, I made an account today, activated email mode, and confirmed I can get
the emails np: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/this-is-a-shitpost-thread/249/2.
AJ says he disabled it, but I think he just disabled the ability to _send_
emails into and have them be picked up.
I found a better resource re how to use Discourse _purely_ via email from
Mozilla's instance:
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/how-do-i-use-discourse-via-email/15279. You
can even just send an email to create topics as well.
Initially I was worried that I wouldn't to get email notifications from
_just_ the lightning-dev sub-forum, but from the link above, you can filter
based on the headers they set in the email (filter out for just the forum
you care about).
If AJ doesn't want to enable inbound mail, then we can make our own
instance for lightning-dev.

Re archiving: today anyone can start to get an archive of the entire forum
by signing up for the mailing list mode. James OB has also created an
external tool that'll let Chroniclers archive the existing forum, or any new
one: https://github.com/jamesob/discourse-archive.

Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? The Bitcoin mailing list started on Sourceforge, then
moved between another instance before finding its home today on the Linux
foundation mailing lists. The developer base is what matters, not
where the forum we all use to coordinate is hosted.
