exactly. it’s not hard to install SMF or PHPBB on a small web server, however actually maintaining/managing a forum is a bit harder.

it’s easier to round up Discord moderators, but good luck finding anyone with forum moderation experience.

a indie game i support refuses to use a forum, only discord. i hate searching thru threads in discord when a forum would be easier.

i wish people wouldn’t shun the idea of a forum just because it’s a “old idea.” good on the jellyfin folks for doing this.

i like Steve Huffsglue better.

you would need to search this “[email protected]” in the search box. this will bring that community into lemmy.ml.
