Circle.so can be a good alternative I think.

They are marketing themselves towards content and course creators, however the structure of their community is geared towards creating long discussions, and long form writing.

I'm a member of a neuroscience community hosted on circle, it works great.

as a cherry on top you can host it on your own website, and change the appearance.

the only con i see is the pricing.
