Are there communities, free software/open source or otherwise, using Lemmy as their forum software?

Nowadays, many use Discourse, some are on Zulip, and I just don’t care about the Discord ones. Would Lenmy not fit the same purposes? It is federated and easier to participate in, like mailing lists - no need to sign up per forum. Matrix is too, but it doesn’t seem to be made for long-form writing.

I believe Discourse was designed based on experience with community dynamics, and Zulip is well-designed too. Would something with federated participation like Lemmy not work as well?

    There is forum software that’s integrated in the fediverse. Most often I’ve heard about NodeBB, which is open source and one can self-host it for free; there is even a YunoHost package.

      I remember glancing at NodeBB (in my ignorance, I am averse to node.js). Activitypub seems to be an integration in it rather than its basis.
