I see a lot of people saying online that "forums are dying off because of discord and reddit"

yet other people reply: "Well, I'm still using my forum/IRC."

So I have to ask, what forums that are decently big still exist? Only one I can think of is Nomutantsallowed for fallout related content.

There are some good Matrix community, on matrix.org as well as individually run homeservers (federated).

is there a matrix client for Android? last I checked there was like, one, and it wasn't very good. whereas there's like 14 different Lemmy apps, many of which are fabulous.

Element X is quite good now (note the X, not the classic 'Element'). Fluffychat's good too but missing some features.
