What do you want lemmy to be? What do you hope to find here? I myself want this to be a privacy and technology focused new Reddit with rich community interaction and forming of real communities.

I think it would be really cool if forums (e.g. linux distro forums, video game forums ect) migrated to use their own lemmy instances. This would have advantages:
I guess it is sort of like same advantages as if they used a subreddit, but with the extra advantage of them ultimately having control.
I would really like to see this too. Reddit’s been called “a forum on steroids” before… well that makes lemmy a forum on steroids that anyone can have full control over.
It’d be great to see forums and communities of any kind host their own lemmy instances and connect up with the rest.
A lot of these forums seem to use discourse which orders comments by time instead of votescore and comment tree.
Is it possible to translate a lemmy thread to something that orders by time like discourse? I guess you could add in an ‘@person1’ or something to show who a comment is replying to. You could translate the other way by just changing ‘@person1’ into a reply to person1 too.
I wonder if this would work well in practise though. Maybe lemmy threads are shaped differently, with more replies than discourse threads.
I think I remember either you or Nutomic talking about this actually and saying it was possible.
