    What do you think Lemmy is missing that phpBB had aside from strong user communities built over years where many of the users knew each other IRL?

      Being designed around persistent topics rather than the ephemeral post model and more visible user customisation (more prominent avatars, signatures, that sort of thing).

        Hmmm, you’re probably on to something there. I think Lemmy could do that but no one cares to set it up.

        and more visible user customisation (more prominent avatars, signatures, that sort of thing).

        I’m honestly not sure this is a bad thing. Dear God, remember how threads would get blown out by hyper-configurations? Sig blocks that were 20,000 pixels long and endless GIF spam? Not sure I’m in a hurry to get back to that!

        One of my favorite forums has been around since 1999 and is currently running on XenoForo which is very phpBB-esque. Anytime I get a nostalgia hankering I drop in for a few minutes. It’s not always as good as you may remember. :)

            XenoForo is a bit spendy but they’re providing the software, hosting and data storage. IIRC the forum I’m talking about is on the “Business” plan due to how busy it is.
