Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 weeks agoIf there was a Reddit/Lemmy style website (where people create communities for various subjects but it’s all available from the same website using the same credentials) with forum style discussions I would be outta here in a moment.
My brother, this is that website

No, it’s not. Unless they only allow the sorting of threads based on which discussions has the newest comment (bumping) and remove comment nesting (so discussions are ongoing instead of branching off which makes it difficult to keep up with what’s new in the different threads), it’s not that website.

Isn’t that exactly what “Active” sort does?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Only works if it’s the way everyone is sorting their feed.

Can’t someone make a client or a UI which does this?
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Lemmy already has both of those sorting options built in
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Only works if everyone is sorting the same way otherwise by replying to an old post you’re just screaming in the void.

Again, unless it works the same way for everyone then people are just replying to old discussions and no one knows about it except for the person they’re replying to.
