 Bambuddy is a community-driven project and I'm **actively looking for contributors** — especially for two areas I can't cover alone:
 
 - 📝 **Documentation writers** — help improve the wiki, guides, and feature docs so new users have a smooth onboarding
-- ⚙️ **Discourse admin** — we already have a **Discourse** instance running but it still needs to be configured, themed, and tuned (categories, permissions, SSO, email, plugins, backups). If you know Discourse or want to dig in, I'd love your help.
-- 💬 **Forum moderators** — once the forum opens, we need people to welcome newcomers, answer questions, and keep discussions healthy
+- ⚙️ **Discourse admin** — our **Discourse forum** is now live at [forum.bambuddy.cool](https://forum.bambuddy.cool) but still needs to be configured, themed, and tuned (categories, permissions, SSO, email, plugins, backups). If you know Discourse or want to dig in, I'd love your help.
+- 💬 **Forum moderators** — help welcome newcomers, answer questions, and keep discussions healthy on the new forum
 
 You don't need to be a developer for the docs or moderator roles. If you enjoy writing, helping others, or keeping a community friendly, you're exactly who we're looking for.
 
 **Get in touch:**
 - 💬 [Discord](https://discord.gg/aFS3ZfScHM) — fastest way to chat
+- 🗣️ [Forum](https://forum.bambuddy.cool) — longer discussions, guides, and community Q&A
 - 🐙 [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/discussions) — open a thread
 - 📧 **martin@bambuddy.cool** — email Martin directly (no GitHub or Discord needed)
