It would be nice if everyone would use tags or brief quotations, so I can see who is replying to who.

Modern forums are confusing my old brain because I’m used to the old BB code and old style of forum navigation, but a lot of things have changed in Lemmy, and also with proprietary forums used by large companies.

Sometimes I forget how to use features. I’m no better than a boomer who needs constant reminders on how to hold a mouse.

I think some people either don’t care or they simply forget that you can highlight text with the mouse and then click “reply” to make a quotation. Maybe they are using a phone and it’s too difficult to do this.
