@rynach@mstdn.io Lemmy isn't a forum, though. There's much more to being a forum than just having topics. Basic moderation tools (like post splitting, merging) etc. are lacking, and more advanced features that have been longtime standards on forums are totally absent.
The UX is that of Reddit, and Reddit is as much a forum as Twitter is a blog.
And LemmyBB hasn't been updated in iver 2 years. Does it even work with the current back end?
