It feels more like a community.

Like it's not quite what message boards used to be, where every user seem to have their own unique identity that everyone seems to be aware of... But it's more so that then something like Reddit.

I've seen users call out other users saying things like You must be the guy that posted that thread the other day... Or something like that

I like that a lot of servers do regular "check in" threads where users just talk about what they've been up to.

We used to have this on some of my communities on Reddit. Sadly, even though total activity numbers seem to be back to normal in those subreddits, the casual chat thread is a shadow of its former self.
