Comment on Not federated Lemmy instances?

Since the "forums" came up several times: I'd agree. In this case you'd choose something like Discourse or Flarum. Those are non-federated forums. And they offer some nice features, Lemmy doesn't have. A lot of Free Software projects use Discourse. It's more lightweight, it offers moderation features that are tailored to the use case, better ways to organize posts, you can mark correct answers and do 50 other things plus install plugins.

Discourse is more lightweight? It’s consistently the slowest loading software that I use and lags everywhere

I thought I did something wrong and it was just me... Alright, take Flarum then, that seems to work on a Raspberry Pi.

I guess because it’s featureful, easy and they provide a hosted, white labeled service. It’s not great, but it’s a safe useable bet. Most organizations don’t want to worry about it too much
