Finally. I’m happy to see them moving from the subreddit. It wasn’t terrible, but a forum will be better I think in the long run.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
It'll be interesting to see how it turns out for them. I'm a fairly casual user of Jellyfin - not enough that I'd sign up on their forum or regularly read it, unless I specifically needed tech support. Unfortunately though that means that I might miss out on updates and if there was any (relatively easy) tech support questions I won't see them and be able to contribute. I suspect that the pool of people they interact with is going to be substantially smaller on their forum than it was previously.
I wonder why those chose mybb over discourse. I definitely prefer the latter.
Here I am wishing they had chosen VBulletin or Invision, lol. I think it's just a case of what I'm more familiar with in terms of forums though.
I get their decision, forum software is stable, has plugins and tools to help with moderation, has been around a long time and they don't have to worry about things like LemmyNSFW or other instances they don't want the hassle of because they control all the content that shows up in a forum space.
I'm just glad it's not a fucking Discord thing.
I definitely agree with them not using Lemmy. I think one centralised forum makes sense for projects to use. Much easier to organize and manage.
