Forums never went anywhere. It’s just that the techno hipsters found something new.

Forums never went anywhere

sadly it appears that they all but have. so many projects out there decide that Discord should be the only way to discuss development, report bugs, or offer tech support.

Like WTF is a comment section under a post if not a type of forum?

It is. Slack and Discord didn’t kill forums, Reddit did. Because Reddit is a mega-forum. Instead of creating a specialized forum somewhere on a website you need to maintain, it’s easier to just create a subreddit. Bam, new forum!

And we’re discussing the disappearance of forums on a forum…

Reddit/Lemmy is like a forum, but bad. They don’t have a good way to see unread additions to a thread, making long discussions impossible.

I wonder if that is what the chat view on lemmy is for. I tried it out, but I couldn’t understand how it is sorted.

It says it’s sorted by new, but the post times don’t seem to match that.
