You could build a HN clone for them for that purpose, but I tell you the problem would be onboarding users.

I built a HN clone for someone who wanted it focused on just E-Commerce discussions, but it failed to take off. Also didn't help that the person wanted to monetize it using a pay-to-use model. It never took off.

Or use this, rebrand it; but I don't know if people in other fields would be turned off by the aesthetic and simplicity (?)

I remember seeing some green themed website that used Arc as a forum but I completely forgot what it was. Pretty active as well.

This makes sense. Community driven websites need... a community. Same reason why it is hard for subs to move away from Reddit.
