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

I for one would want a more open source system where a single guy running a server doesn't have all the power in the forum. It would be awesome if a fedi form of forums took over and one could replicate all the info as relays.
So you basically mean something like Lemmy but for forums?
But isn't Lemmy already a forum-like (i guess) platform? Like there are boards (or whatever they are called here, i don't remember, "subreddits") about discussing some topic and you can make threads discussing said topic. Bam, a forum, right?
Or do forums have something that Lemmy (or at this point Reddit) don't?
I'd also call it a forum format. Btw subreddits are simply called communities here :)
