Diggy Forums official launch!

[digdeeper]

- Why the move? Lemmy sucked, did not work properly in Pale Moon, and required JS to do anything. Here, JS-less posting works, though some side functionality might not. The amount of features is also very little aside from federation which we've been mostly Hitlered away from.
- Why not Shadow Forums? It never gathered the attraction that I expect, even when I became active there. I hope this is different here. It also went down a lot and obviously does not have the giant amount of features that phpBB does. Even moving topics, posts, etc. does not exist in asmBB. Of course, Shadow Forums will keep being linked on the main page in case anyone wants to use it.
- For people who had Lemmy accounts, posts have been ported and you can login with your previous username and password. Lemmy will, likely, soon be killed.
- How to register? Go to the main page of forum and click "Register". Email has to be given, but can be nonexistent and is not confirmed. XMPP address is optional.
- At registration, everyone is added to "new members" group which has to have their first 3 posts approved by a moderator. But if they are not spam / malicious, they will be. This is the cleanest way I've come up with to prevent the forum from being shitted up. If you want to bypass this requirement, and I know you, message me on XMPP with your username.
- pyCode and Ame themes should be functional. Prosilver is the official, and surely works but is ugly so is not the default. subsilver2 should also be fine. pyCode is based on the old Ghost website theme, and Ame on the Ame theme that used to be default for a bit. I will make (port) more themes at some point.
- Quick Reply has been enabled for people used to MUCs.

Anyway, feel free to complain, suggest improvements, and so on. This is really what I always wanted and I hope it to be our "home" now. I should have done this a lot earlier, but better now than never, I guess. For a long time I did not self host at all, so this was impossible. Then MUCs kind of distracted me, but weren't measuring up in the end.

Thanks to pjoter who helped heavily with this project.
