Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.

Lemmy does have this actually

New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums

and then there's the "Active" sort, which is kind of a compromise

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

Neat! Now if I could see which of my subscriptions has new posts/comments.
