How was this forum's Homepage built?

Hey, I’m building a Discourse forum for the non profit I’m interning for and I love this forum’s home page . I love how there’s a Redditish preview of the forum’s highlights under the highlighted tags. Could someone please share the plugins, theme-components or custom code used on this forum to have this home page organisation? I’m a second year computer science student and for some reason we still haven’t done any web development so I’m really new to HTML and CSS but willing to learn!

Thanks for your time

Did you ever find out what software is being used. I knew at one point the company but have lost that information. I’m looking at replacing a forum package that could really use the features I see in Epic’s forums and would love to know.

To create a homepage with forum highlights and tags, you will need to use a mix of Discourse plugins, theme components, and possibly some custom HTML/CSS. Install plugins like ‘discourse-tagging’ for tag functionalities, and customize your theme to include highlights and previews. As you are new to HTML/CSS, you can start by customizing an existing theme or use a theme component that closely matches your needs and then modify it as needed.
