I definitely have nostalgia for it too! But as with all memories it can be hard to separate what's me missing being younger and what's me missing how things were back then.
I think with federation gets more popular a lot of it may come back in a way.
There's nothing really stopping people from creating an non-federalized instance that would essentially be an old school forum. There was a pretty crazy lemmy frontend thing I saw that brings it all full circle too.
