I would be nice if there was a #forum component to newer chat room (e.g. #Discord or #Matrix). That way, conversations could be moved over to the forum, and slow, thoughtful conversations could be had there. Also great for parking stuff like memes, yet at the same time, referencing them in the chat room. Maybe the conversations and posts could easily be searched, too.
Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a platform that already has this.

“I'm all for removing illegals, but snatching dudes off lawn mowers in Cali and leaving the truck and equipment just sitting there? Definitely not working smarter,” writes one forum user.

Just a reminder that meta.lisp.community is a new Lisp discussion forum about various classic and modern dialects. A community-run asynchronous discussion board is a great resource for those who prefer forums over chat or proprietary platforms.

#askfedi What is the best oldschool #forum software one can self-host on a small server?
"Best" as in some tradeoff of the following:
* bugfree (or not many bugs)
* safe, as in no or no discovered CVEs
* features for users, mods and admins
* maintainability
* safe, as in allows invite-only, and maybe review posts before being actually visible
Background is, that I have been thinking about hosting one for a long time, but it would probably be only for friends and friends of friends.
A new forum has been created called "Userverge", a general-purpose forum is a community hub for creators, enthusiasts, and gamers.
The forum will expand as users join.
Powered by NodeBB, with ActivityPub support.

Anyone got any good thoughts or ideas on small pots of money a mostly-online creatives' organisation could apply for to support baseline running costs? Exilian is going to need to shift to paid-plan email soon and that's going to be a chunky extra financial burden, and we could do with more money for other work as well.
Twice, in the past, I have thought it would be nice if everyone’s stuff made it out onto social media. Both times, I have enabled syndicating forum topics. Both times it went badly.
We ended up syndicating spam that is easy to remove here, but hangs about in FediSpace forever.
A bit like this:
I’m sure there must be a way to revoke that stuff, but I’m not sure what that way is. So, until we can undo spam that gets syndicated, forum stuff will remain local only. If someone can help me figure out how to unspam social media, I think it would be nicer to take a poll to see if our active members even want our forums appearing on social media.
I wish I had #fediverse ( #mastodon #pleroma #akkoma #friendica #hubzilla #iceshrimp #snac #lemmy #mbin #kbin #piefed ) #client , I mean like #ELK #lmst #pl-fe #phanpy #tooty #sengi #pinafore #halcyon . That would allow me to sort my subscription feed & browse sorted feed, to see ONLY relevant posts (on topic updates follow-up's?).
Well, the mastodon feature of "LISTS" tries something similiar by allowing to make a sorted list of people\subscription, sorted by your custom category/topic. But it doesn't include #tags. Each #tag must be browsed separately, individually, manually, and there is no feature of list of tags in mastodon.
Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed and other #reddit #forum like #activitypub implementations allow you to have topics-threads, but each thread does not replicate very well across multiple servers/instances. Can't be easely crossposted ( by pinging multiple category-bots). And doesn't replicate & easily-searchable as classic mastodon #tags.
Other things I don't like:
- twitter like reposts. they make you feel you subscribed not to the original "reposter" friend, but to "reposted content" that you never subscribed for. the #f2f p2p architecture of #scuttlebot ( #scuttlebutt) kinda eliminates that, they don't have nor show reposts. you see there only original posts, original content, of friends you follow. Kinda helps to slow down the mind from informational overflow. You can opt out to see posts of friend's friends, if you want more. Tags are also supported there.
- threads consist only of information aggretator url sharing in reddit like clones. Without having OP OC like in bbs|AgoraRoad , they just silo you to clickbait to other web sites.
