Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • I run a forum where the first post was started 23 years ago.

    That's cool!

    People still keep using this trash!

    Why? I mean if it can be destroyed on a whimp again should be reason enough to not use it again.

  • This is so true! I always hated the Slack/Discord format and will always do. It's just a mess.

  • That sounds like an awesome idea! I'm sure that many forum owners don't even know that they can federate.

  • I thought about only crossposting uprising content and only a few a day. Simply crossposting everything would be definitely a bad idea.

  • How about crossposting forum post links on Lemmy? This would help to get them exposure.

  • I'm using DuckDuckGo and Qwant and get way better results than on Google now. I don't know what's going on there at Google but I hope they make it even shittier so they loose more users.

  • Why not creating a community around this topic on Lemmy and crosspost forum posts there?

  • You could simply start your own instance. Nobody can delete your content or ban you there. But get ready to get defederated from other instances.

  • I have to disagree. I have seen a lot of helpful question/answer Style content there which was only there.

  • You should definitely start creating content and communities! It's a lot of fun.

    I'm currently establishing a new Lemmy instance and it's fun as hell. Especially since it's a lot easier to build communities in this Reddit like format than in any other. I simply post content I see and want to share into the appropriate communities and discussions will naturally follow. This can also be original content of course.

  • Using an AI search engine is ok. But you definitely have to check the sources.
