Not quite there yet, but I think Lemmy has the potential to be the best of both. Something you could host without a major company involved, but also attached to a wider community. It isn't getting the critical mass just yet.
Also, yeah, like a lot of PHP apps at the time, phpBB had some boneheaded decisions. Like "plugins" that didn't use any kind of API hooks, and instead relied on patching the code directly.
Lemmy would have to fix federation first, until then it’s just modern forum software.
something is needed to be done to bring lemmy to the wider audience else this will also become one of those niche forum sites with the same 1 or 2k people
