    Yes, the matrix protocol is very mature and perfectly suited for forums.

        i’m going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel here, so bear with me:

        • cerulean - an experiment to do with threading features, so it is not guaranteed to be as good as lemmy, nor is it maintained
        • commune - it feels more like discord, and has its own api in front of matrix, but it is still built on matrix!

        yeah i dunno, there are others like somix and morum but they seem more early stages.

          I really appreciate the links! So it looks like matrix has mainly been focused on the chat room side of things and another downside is that you need some sort of translation layer to connect a matrix thing to an activity pub thing. Definitely gives a lot to think about. I’ve been trying to decide where I should donate my time to doing dev work at but the answer appears to be “it’s complicated”
