Maybe ask if they're willing to switched over to lemmy? You can sort like a forum does. Long shot but hey....

true. I didn't consider that. That would could work. Lemmy is a lot more advanced in that regard. Currently the best ideas are Discord and give up, and the original owners are done with the idea, but I could try and create a spiritual successor on here. Lemmy suffers a bit from the same isues as Forums with lack of people, but I only need to convince the OGs. I need to think about that, and a forum from 2004 whose software is a decade out of date is easy to beat in that regard

Also thanks for creating this awesome instance.

Also tools like Lemmy Federate can help broaden the reach and allow more people on Lemmy to discover your communities, since communities and their content doesn't get federated until someone is subscribed to them.

Yeah it seems not a lot of people are aware of this tool anymore. I guess since it's no longer advertised on lemy.lol's sidebar people just sort of forgot about it.
