      I hope to see Official Game Forums become ActivityPub based, it would be awesome for ‘subs’ & official forums to be one and the same, able to signup via Lemmy.

        I hadn’t considered this, but it actually is the best for them too.

        They get the community of discord with the style of Reddit.

        Dammit. We need some techs devs to give it a shot.

        Nice that they can control it more, but I’d bet most companies don’t want to maintain their own instance

          There was a time when every company had its own forum that they ended closing because they had to pay for moderators. Wizards of the coast and IMDB just on top of my head.

          Really, maintaining an instance that’s ONLY you’re community probably wouldn’t be that big of a deal cost wise for a company like that.
