Let's ask and experiment adding @discourse to our thread, which is also federating with #Discourse Meta forum. You wrote:

Apart from fediverse connectivity I agree with @rriemann and would recommend #Discourse as community forum software. It has a very rich feature set, esp. for the community moderators and admins. Which is something that Lemmy lacks. It is not a forum but more of a link aggregator I'd say.
