  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?

        Its not proprietary software and not owned by a for profit company. Also allows because of the previous things, you can heavily modify it to fit the thing your forum is about.
