I use and love the Recent Topics block in the forum's sidebar, and that's precisely the block I want to use but in a WordPress post or page or any Gutenberg Editor (e.g., custom post type's content).
How can that widget/block appear in the Gutenberg editor of posts and pages?
Hi @lazilaz,
You can use amr shortcode any widget plugin to create a shortcode of the needed widget and then create a shortcode block in the post content and insert the widgets shortcode there.
Looks like that plugin has been removed. Any other suggestions?
Maybe
Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget)
For anyone else who stumbles onto this in the future, I followed this post from WPMU.

I'd rather use a Gutenberg block but I settled with modifying my template and adding widget areas. It's a little technical and doesn't have the flexibility of a block but it works.
