    Agree. “Link aggregator” is understood to mean “reddit-like” without having to refer to a specific link aggregator as a point of reference. “Forum” is a different though similar thing. And a lot of the lemmy communities I subscribe to are literally link aggregators like people link to articles, git repos, etc to draw people’s attention to, although I can see the issue with it referring to text posts too.
