  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).

        Thank you for enlightening me, I didn’t really get it when I first encountered it. Like, how’s that different from like ZenDesk?
