Digg's death is what led me to Reddit. Reddit's death led me here. I wonder where I'll be when Lemmy eventually dies or if I'll just die before it does. 🤔

I would want some federated more traditional forums instead of a reddit approach, that would have so many advantages, like threads not dying this often and just being easier to navigate

There is the LemmyBB frontend.

Both Discourse and NodeBB are working on fediverse integration, Discourse's is already live but they are still adding features to it

I can't envision a federated service dying. Even if it's me pedaling a bike to run a raspberry pi hosting an instance that's just me posting it'll exist.

The only way Lemmy could "die" would be if it is surpassed by a similar project (like Sublinks, Piefed, Mbin). If that project is also part of the fediverse, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Edit: I suppose another way Lemmy could die would be if one of the larger instances somehow makes a closed-source fork of the software which is so much better that all the users flock to it. My hope is that Lemmy is already decentralized enough that this couldn't happen, and that Lemmy users would be savvy enough to oppose this if it did.

If the fediverse is so cool how come there's no fediverse 2 huh???

Same, both Digg leading to Reddit, and Reddit to Lemmy

Lemmy instances are designed to be born and die. So it's a good thing in my opinion.
