Sounds more like we would go back to forums.

I am down. I miss forums (as long as it is not tapatalk.)

I think "forums" is what Lemmy kinda shoulda been. I've had people argue against me at this point, but...

lemmy.nsfw and the other couple of porn instances are the only ones that are focused by topic. Everybody else tries to be a general purpose instance, which results in that "Which instance do I pick? Will it matter being on sh.itjust.works or lemmy.world?" issue and the "there are currently 94 communities with the name Linux, 20 with more than 250 subscribers and 12 that have seen some kind of activity in the last month" issues.

Lemmy could be used like a good old forum engine. Create an instance around a particular branch of discussion, but now they're federated.
