Hi,

I pushed out two tweaks to https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed 
master:

1. Moved remaining dlang.org-specific behavior to a separate 
repository (its dlang.org fork)
2. Added ability to run without a backing NNTP or mailing list

So, you should now be able to simply `git clone` and `dub run` to 
get a working unbranded forum.

You can customize your instance by copying example files from 
`site-default/` to `site/`.

I've put up a demo instance of what it looks like with zero 
configuration here: https://dfeed-demo.cy.md/

Let me know how it goes - this is brand new functionality so 
feedback is welcome.
