lemmyBB VS Lobsters

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.

"I actually wish we had a hacker community like this without the business/startup side at all"

Sounds like you want https://lobste.rs

Well, there's https://lobste.rs/, or we could all go back to slashdot I guess

Requesting https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters as I'm going through that codebase and would be able to provide feedback. cheers

ps. just gonna second everyone else who's saying being able to edit out incorrect data is very important, otherwise people are gonna be weary of reading repos they aren't already familiar with.

> Hacker News, but also lobster.rs

First time I hear about it. I think you meant https://lobste.rs
