    It’s actually a misunderstanding of what I was saying. Lemmy already has this functionality. I use my normal account to ask a question in a community I’m not normally apart of. In the forum days I’d need to make an account for e.g. a power tool forum if I had a question.

    Discord is the same. I use my normal account to join a server, ask a question, then leave after getting the answer. No temporary account needed.

    You can, you just comment in a community you’re not subscribed to, same as Reddit.

    On Reddit / Lemmy I just post to the power tools subreddit if I have a question. But in the forum days I’d need to find a power tool forum, make an account, post, remember to check for answers outside of my daily browsing, then never use the forum again.

    Also people don’t want to make a new account to ask one question. Discord let’s you pop into a server, ask a question, and leave with ease.

    Until this is enabled in some other platform, people won’t switch away from Reddit/Lemmy and discord. People don’t want to make accounts and that’s why these services took over.
