I am a real sucker for forums .. love them to death .. just yesterday put up a fresh https://www.mailserverforum.com/ (handreg domain).. for a topic I am very very interested in professionally (afraid of unpredictable Cloud pricing, and love bare-bone servers).
Any tips on how to get them started from zero? It's not something I've ever really tried properly (maybe the odd one here or there halfheartedly many years ago).

Xerforo is a great choice for professional forums, like acorn or dnforum.

https://www.maria.zone is the same as the newly set up mailserverforum.com > runs on Simple Machines Forum engine, which is free.
I am actually planing to create a video on Hostmaria how to set up a forum .. all you need is a domain name and hosting (£19.90/year with us at Hostmaria)
.. the rest is work creating a community > most likely you will fail (have to be honest). ... it is very difficult to create a real community forum. But, 10000% worth if you manage to do so
.. I have 2 small forums for crypto communities (on a different engine).. one of them is zenzoforum.com > users still don't post there (they prefer Discord over forums)..
