I recently came across LemmyBB, a frontend for Lemmy that is based on the popular forum software phpBB. It seems like a great way to bring the familiar forum experience to the federated world of Lemmy. However, I haven’t seen any significant migration of forums to Lemmy using this UI. What could be the reasons behind this? Are there any technical or usability issues that are preventing forums from adopting LemmyBB and moving to the Lemmy platform?
Most people dont know it exists and the setup instructions are still a bit messy. If someone were to make one click install for digitalocean etc for lemmy and the lemmybb ui it would get more traction. Would love to see blenderartists.org move to it and lemmy. Having both the forum and lemmy ui as options is best imo
