Now there's NodeBB. Although it doesn't yet have an Android app, I'm excited about the potential return of old-school forum software that it represents.

https://lobste.rs/ maybe? Non-programming forums are still around too, like progarchives.com. AI scrapers may be more of a threat than Reddit. I heard that https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/ put most of its fiction section behind a login wall, maybe to avoid scraping and other overactive bots.
