That looks more user friendly than the solution I put together last winter.

This does sound like something that would work much better with Lemmy.

Partly it is my personal preference for structured threaded discussion as found on on classic blog comment systems and public fora ever since the Usenet.

But also: you get WebMentions so you know where links were posted, you get the entire discussion not just a fragment, and much more useful moderation both thanks to the vote system and thanks to being able to filter specific communities should you want to, in addition to the rather loose instance-based or very specific user-based filtering.
