@nervo welcome to the MangoLassi community! Great to see you here. We always welcome visitors over from the NodeBB forums. Great to see other users of the platform checking us out. To the best of our knowledge this is the busiest NodeBB platform out there. Every post that you see here started here, nothing here migrated from another platform or community. We built MangoLassi from day one on NodeBB.
There is no Desi connection, I am afraid. The title was proposed a bit as an inside joke but a bunch of people liked it and asked to keep it. So it stuck. A very popular forum that is much like this one makes references to spicy food heavily and, of course, the perfect compliment to a very spicy mean is a delicious Mango Lassi. Hence the name.
Our community is very international, though. We have people from everywhere here and more joining from all over the world all of the time.
