I guess it's not a bad thing but I feel like "forums" should be left in 1999 where they belong and these platforms should just switch to Lemmy.
Forum users tend to prefer long-lasting discussions, which is not the case on Lemmy/Reddit, where threads are forgotten after a few days.
Heck--it was designed to be like that, even Reddit archivesa thread after 6 months right?
I will say that I find good advice on tech subreddits now and then, as good as or better than, say, support forums. That's off the divisive and rapid-change subjects that mostly characterise Reddit and Lemmy, of course.
Yeah that's exactly what sucks about them.
When you open up the front page, you're not shown what is the most interesting and recent topics, you're shown 12 year old thread that xxedgelord69 dug up and added a fuckin' poop emoji.
