A bit of an effortpost :)
Please do crosspost in more fitting communities if you think of any

Not to the point old school forums do. The sorting is one of the main things in a old school forum as it will bump a post to the top with a single comment. Subforums are also something you don’t have on reddit/lemmy scrolling aggregators.
What are you talking about? Each community is effectively a subforum. Why do you need nested forums?
Also, being able to bump up threads was a curse as well. Anyway, of course lemmy is not identical to old-school bbcode forums, but I’d argue this is for the best. But I’m also hoping Discourse will make lemmy integration better, then it can be used by people who prefer that format.
Look at xda and then reask that question. Subforums exist because some topics still fall under the same forum. Like android roms is a sub forum in xda, so its rooting phones. All the same umbrella but has different subforums.
This seems to be an issue with those who never used forums or grew up with them. They just want rolling topics over and over.
There’s no reason for subforums even in that case. You can easily have multiple communities the same way XDA has.
Which is a nightmare for searching and knowing where to post. Forums are still one of the best mediums for topics with multiple Branches
Not really. Just some links in the sidebar would serve the same purpose as the list of subforumsl
Mobile wise it doesn’t. And as I’ve said already, forums are designed for prolonged discussion. These scroller style mediums are good for short timeframe discussions.
