I'm not really sure what the point of this is. Why not just create communities on Lemmy for those listed topics?

It's open source so theoretically someone else should be able to host it too right?

This seems like the perfect use case for federated software to me

Yeah, Lemmy is actually a decent software for this use-case...

I'm not really sure that being open source here means much of anything, but an SO alternative definitely sounds good. Thanks for the tip.

At a basic level it just means anyone can run their own instance if they want. Most importantly here, it means if the company/organization running the flagship instance goes rotten it is much easier to migrate out of it.

But without federation questions and answers reside only on one server
