FORUM OR SOCIALNETWORK? THIS IS THE QUESTION. YET THERE IS ALREADY A SOLUTION!
@fediverse
Indeed, a few days ago something was born that could create a revolutionary point of contact between these two tools for social comparison among web users...
This (very long) post from @informapirata tries to take stock of the situation.

There really needs to be some dedicated lemmy instances to gather/grow topical communities… I can’t quite wrap my head around why people set up topical mastodon instances rather than lemmys, given that local mastodon posts generally don’t stick to a topic.

Indeed. However, understand that Lemmy has like 100K people or so, while Mastodon is over 9 Million. Much easier to build a topical instance on a larger platform. Lemmy will have it's time soon.

@[email protected] is creating a hosting platform that supports Lemmy called "Space Host". Once his platform releases, and it becomes much easier to run a Lemmy instance, we are going to see a lot of people here in the "Lemmyverse".
