Fundamentally, what is lemmy? - eviltoast

In essence, what woud you say lemmy is? A way to have all your old forum subscriptions in one place in the form of communies?

Or is there something else I’m missing?

    Is that really an accurate description though? Do people primarily use it to find links, or to have discussions? I think more the latter.

      I am of the same persuasion… “link aggregator”, I would think, should be a place to “aggregate” links. In lemmy you have 4 fields: URL, Image, Title and Body. Never seen someone say lemmy is an image aggregator, for example. Body is for discussion (as in forums) and seems to be where the meat of the matter really is.
