So far, I like what’s been built here. There are a few things I’d change, but they’re not dealbreakers. My main concern is the voting system and how it works. Otherwise, Lemmy seems like a solid option. I’m not sure how much voting can be disabled or changed on an instance.

I’m considering either hosting a Lemmy instance for nightash.net, where I currently run a traditional forum, or building something closer to the architecture I described here .

I’d appreciate feedback, especially from people who might be interested in using it.

    I notice you’re not actually writing this message from lemmy but piefed.
    Piefed has many features lemmy does not so ensure you choose the right fediverse software for your own needs.

    Make sure you have some proper protection for the signup would be my main feedback, those that allow completely free registrations quickly get infested with spam bots and then their instance get denied federation by the other instances.

    I don’t know how much protection is built in Lemmy, but I guess you would be defederated quickly if votes are changed.
