Also – unless I am missing something here, with Discord you are seeing posts in a strictly chronological order. Yes, you can like and react to posts, but that won’t bubble and auto-curate great content to the top. I was once in a very popular Discord and the amount of random posts filling up the feed made me leave it after some time.
Discord has a built in forum like interface, it’s quite decent - but as others have said, it’s not indexed by google and thus pretty useless for newcomers.
It does have a feature now that kind of works like a forum. If you go to one of these channels it shows a list of posts, and each post can be commented on separately. But that’s it, it doesn’t even come close to reddit or lemmy.

Oh it does? And with those forums you can vote content up to make them more visible? I thought it was just an endless stream in various channels.
Naw it doesn’t have upvote and downvote options, it works more like a traditional forum.
