Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Lemmy is not a forum.

Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It's just a different medium.

And it's a medium that we need to preserve.
