Doomworld is still going. I joined a few years back and it was such a blast of nostalgia being on a normal forum after so long.

What's a thematic forum? Do you mean a site with people on it talking about some topic? Do you mean software like NodeBB? IDK what you mean about "return" of old school forums. They never went away, they're still here, maybe slowly declining, but a long way from dead. I don't think NodeBB is particularly relevant to keeping them alive. Neither are client side apps since they are usually accessed with browsers.

https://lobste.rs/ maybe? Non-programming forums are still around too, like progarchives.com. AI scrapers may be more of a threat than Reddit. I heard that https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/ put most of its fiction section behind a login wall, maybe to avoid scraping and other overactive bots.
