lemmyBB exists which lets you view Lemmy as a forum. Seems like all the hosted versions of it are down though, and nutomic is too busy working on the backend to maintain it.

It doesn't solve the bumping issue though, if the majority of users use "Reddit style" Lemmy then threads become inactive when they're not in people's feed anymore, it's a major point of BBs, discussions are brought back to the front so people continue participating in them long term.

Bumping works just fine with the "New Comments" sort of Lemmy, which lemmybb uses.

Yes, but if barely anyone sorts this way then the discussions just die much more quickly than they would on a BB
