lemmyBB VS lemmy-ui

You might find this web UI for Lemmy interesting.

Im surprised they didnt move to a lemmy instance especially considering you can use lemmy with a mybb ui https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB

It is actually possible to use Lemmy to build a modern forum. One of the official web frontends is lemmyBB.

For those craving the old PhpBB forum theme, but it's Lemmy under the hood:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB

It's a viable approach. There's even a proof-of-concept UX for Lemmy/Fediverse that's indistinguishable from an old-school forum/bulletin board: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB

Of course unlike an old-school fprum, on Lemmy you can choose to federate with other instances that pick up your niche interest. But it need not be the default.

It looks like they're working on it.

A pull request to fix the issue is already available: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1897

This will not be easy to fix. There is already work to fix the emoji issue but the problem runs much deeper than just that.

Looks like it was due to unsafe processing of custom emoji [1].
