Is there anything like this but more of a reddit style layout?

I'm on a Facebook group and we're actively trying to get off of all Meta platforms, and wanted to see whether I could start up my own platform using an open source platform - but I think something like Reddit would be more suitable as opposed to a massive chat UI.

Hi! We've got Forum-Style channels planned, similar to Discords, would that work for you? It'd still be a single text channel, and you could have multiple of them per community.

Thanks for the reply! I'm not too familiar with Discords forums so will do a bit of digging

The comments are not trees like Reddit. It's more like a list of questions you click into for a thread. Basically a channel where the top level is a list of threads, has more permanence than threads in normal chat channels.

Maybe Lemmy without federation?
