FORUM OR SOCIALNETWORK? THIS IS THE QUESTION. YET THERE IS ALREADY A SOLUTION!
@fediverse
Indeed, a few days ago something was born that could create a revolutionary point of contact between these two tools for social comparison among web users…
This (very long) post from @informapirata tries to take stock of the situation.

@taur10 @informapirata @piratepost What are you interested in? The question here is likely whether or not what your interested in has any communities yet.
I made a ton of communities in #Lotide, perhaps they might be more your speed?
The #Lotide instance I use is narwhal.city
@realcaseyrollins @informapirata @piratepost Let’s see, over on Reddit the ones I’m following that I check daily are:
Amazon of Deals
Canoo
Couriers of Reddit
Idiots in Cars
Kei Trucks
Roadie
RoadieApp
StLouis
Likely I can find some or all of these, but they’ll be spread across servers, and that’s where I run into problems, how do I find stuff? I’d also like to find an alternative to my Flipboard, while I do use it as my main news source, I also use it to share all the news that interests me, so finding or creating an equivalent to my books over there’d be nice.
Not all of the communities you desire may be there (yet), but I recommend checking the Lemmy Community Browser that the good people at the Feddit instance have made.
LOL! I’m the admin of Kei trucks… got all my accounts banned from Reddit so I can’t even g tell anyone on there. I think we should start the forum here again.
@imgprojts Heh, small world. Lemmy could certainly use something like that, assuming it can work the same way Reddit does.
I wanted to admin something then because of the pandemic and having lots of time available. I spent months just contacting people around the web and Reddit to see if they wanted to sign up. It was my wake up routine. Then Ukraine got invaded by Russia and I took a more political approach to the words I use in my posts about puto putin and his k-illing squads. Something about replacing his thinking box with fresh air didn’t sit well with somebody 🤣. So they banned me. I thought wow, maybe this site is actually monitored and admin-ed by ruzzia? Or maybe puto putin hasn’t yet excused enough Ukraninans back to the ceiling where jebus lives? Does the world actually like that left over deamon? Went to sleep on Friday and Saturday morning when I woke up I was banned from all of reddit. I had 3 accounts and they banned all of them. I decided to not create a new account and just go elsewhere.
@imgprojts The joys of Reddit, they don’t actively patrol, there’s plenty of people happy to do it for them, some of home have an axe to grind
So true.

Interesting…I’m not familiar with most of those communities. There seems to be a theme of travel and IDK of any #Lemmy or #Lotide communities that do that. “Amazon of Deals” is probably technically adjacent to @Finance or @Lifestyle.
But if you don’t see the community you’re looking for, you can always create it.
> Likely I can find some or all of these, but they’ll be spread across servers, and that’s where I run into problems, how do I find stuff?
The trick I always use on that corner of the #Fediverse is use the three most popular instances of each software and see if they have the community you’re looking for. The bigger the instance, the more likely they have a more complete view of the #Fediverse.
