I think the subreddit has a huge advantage in terms of visibility so I’d go with that at first, that way it acts as a gateway to HIA. Long-form/important content can still be cross-posted to LessWrong.
Then at some point in the future, the community can move to a dedicated ForumMagnum or equivalent, while the subreddit still exists as an entrypoint/question hub for newcomers and as a link to the main forum?
An AI search gives these options:
Discourse forum (self-hosted or hosted), e.g. this type of thing: https://forum.image.sc/
ForumMagnum (LW OSS codebase); LW, EA forum, or https://progressforum.org/ (seems to have died); better for long-form
subreddit (less ownership, maybe worse for long-form, but way easier to set up)
Thoughts? Note that there is https://www.reddit.com/r/reprogenetics/, though it seems to be Gwern-only (empirically I mean).
