      It is. Slack and Discord didn’t kill forums, Reddit did. Because Reddit is a mega-forum. Instead of creating a specialized forum somewhere on a website you need to maintain, it’s easier to just create a subreddit. Bam, new forum!

      And we’re discussing the disappearance of forums on a forum…

      Reddit/Lemmy is like a forum, but bad. They don’t have a good way to see unread additions to a thread, making long discussions impossible.

        I wonder if that is what the chat view on lemmy is for. I tried it out, but I couldn’t understand how it is sorted.

        It says it’s sorted by new, but the post times don’t seem to match that.
