I miss the decentralized web and phpBB forums. If you didn't like one community, it was super easy to find one you did.

Lemmy is a federated reddit-like community that anyone can host themselves. Here's one of the top servers:

A lot of traditional forums are still active. :)

Just the hype seeking people left to Discord and Reddit to be able to lament about how these new places are awful and crying about phpBB and vbuletin being dead.

Traditional forums may not have grown as much as social media, but they’re definitely still alive and vibrant.

And honestly, higher quality conversations and community than Reddit and discord.

Must have just been the ones I liked that died. Will have to go looking
