Google brings back the Forums tab/filter!

Idk about you guys, but this makes me VERY happy :smiley:

Especially since (after testing) my instance ranks incredibly well. Could this revive discussion forums around the globe? I remember when Google killed the filter years ago, those were bad times.

EDIT: So far seen in Poland and United States, I am not sure if this is a test or full roll out, but Google is updating the core. The Forum tab literally popped up ten minutes ago while I was searching for something.

This is great!

I’m kinda offended that my decades-old community comes after Reddit tho :lolsob:

This is great! Finally something other than AI related things :smiley:

These days it feels like that Reddit comes super high on Google… Also it auto translates english content to finnish which annoys me a lot.

As one redditor said:

Expected - when almost everything becomes AI written - user generated content becomes even more important.

AI answers Google can give themselves.

Future timeline:

  1. People get sick of AI content
  2. Discussion forums will flourish
  3. Discourse becomes the #1 CMS in the world
  4. ???
  5. We all profit (and save the world from AI)
