You can either rent an instance, or run your own.

I’d rather not host anything, I more meant like participate in a Lemmy.world type deal?

Ah, okay. That’s not how that works, forums are usually used for specific contexts, like support from a specific company.
As an example, Guild Wars 2 for the longest time - don’t know whether they still do - ran a forum that was a highly customized version of Discourse. Turtle Rock also used it for their support forum. Fairphone’s forums are entirely on Discourse (and it’s pretty obvious in their case as they use a quite vanilla installation).

Specifically its co-creator was Jeff Atwood, who is also the writer of coding horror and recently posted a pretty good endorsement of Mastadon and other non-twitter services.
He was actually one of only a dozen or so people I followed on very early twitter, before losing interest in the bullshit on there by 2010 or so and moving to Reddit.
