Welcome to Caint.
What?
Caint is an Irish discussion board for Irish people to talk about Ireland and the world. Non-Irish are of course welcome to join and take part.Caint is the Irish word for talk or speech. As this is a forum, where we ‘talk’ to each other.
Who?
Caint is operated by me, myself and I.Why?
Caint was set up in response to the potential shutdown of Boards.ie, a popular Irish forum. While Boards.ie is still operating, the experience highlighted the need for an independent Irish community with Fediverse integration - so setting up a NodeBB website was a no-brainer.Where?
This website is hosted in Germany, but operated out of Ireland.When?
The site started as a new project under the old name ‘39’ but changed to ‘Caint’ in July 2025.How?
This is being run out of pocket for a small amount. Check the finances thread for more info.
