In essence, what woud you say lemmy is? A way to have all your old forum subscriptions in one place in the form of communies?
Or is there something else I’m missing?

Fundamentally it’s Reddit but distributed.

@Lmaydev I love the federation part of it, though. Shouldn’t lemmy be more like stack exchange, then?

In its use it’s practically exactly the same as Reddit. I would say it’s format is taken pretty much as is from Reddit.
The difference is the instances. Now instead of just reddit.com we have a series of websites each with their own admins.
This adds a new dimension to it’s ecosystem and lots of new drama. But to most users makes very little difference.
