I unironically miss forums. It was a completely different experience from post/comment based sites because everything was one thread, but the biggest thing I miss is that forums were usually pretty well moderated, smaller, and devoted to one topic.
Reddit is the de facto site for making a community on, but there's something to be said for the focused insular forums of just a few years ago.
