    The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

    An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

      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.

      Some forums do have up/down votes as well as nested comments.

        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

        https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

        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

        You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

        If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

        Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

          Discourse already exists (and most big companies use that).

          Also you can see many other things on Reddit or Discord too (or the internet). Im not sure how that is a point against federation. If companies really want to control everything they can create their own instance (like KDE’s lemmy instance).

          They can defederate everyone from their instance to get an “unfederated” instance but again it changes nothing imo.

          In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance. Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

          We’re talking about Reddit. It’s one of the biggest porn sites out there. If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

          Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum? Most of the ones I have seen use Discourse, which is open source but unfortunately not federated.

          Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

          We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.
