They exist. I use several. Lowendspirit.com (about cheap vps for self hosting) is one. I’m not active there right now but have been at various times.

The point is not in the form but in the critical mass of users to achieve an active community. Lemmy (and Reddit before) are way superior in every way to forums on the technical software side.

We need more people. Share, comment and participate. That’s the only way to create a community

You are a smartphone technician or what?

What do you mean bring them back? They didn’t really go anywhere as a whole. There are still forums out there, it’s just far more popular to use Discord now. If there is a particular forum you have in mind, the way to bring that back is to host a replacement and then try to convince people to use it. It’s pretty trivial to set up some forums.
