I recently came across LemmyBB, a frontend for Lemmy that is based on the popular forum software phpBB. It seems like a great way to bring the familiar forum experience to the federated world of Lemmy. However, I haven’t seen any significant migration of forums to Lemmy using this UI. What could be the reasons behind this? Are there any technical or usability issues that are preventing forums from adopting LemmyBB and moving to the Lemmy platform?
Because there’s a dwindling numbers of forums out there and probably very few new forums made every day. The established forums probably don’t want to move everything to a new system and new forums might want something more established.
Yeah, most established forums with active user bases have been around for a loooooong time. One of the reasons people are still active on them is because they haven’t made significant changes.
There’s no drama like changes to forum drama.
