Discourse is not really good, it's got endless scrolling at takes forever to navigate what could be done in seconds with pagination.
Pages are a defining feature of old forums, without them it's just another Reddit-alike or something.
The endless scrolling is really annoying. Apparently they can't load more than 10 messages on a page for "performance reasons". But it breaks searching the page, slows down scrolling and a lot of other browser UX.
If you can't performantly display a few hundred short messages you need to rethink your frontend technology.
