In essence, what woud you say lemmy is? A way to have all your old forum subscriptions in one place in the form of communies?

Or is there something else I'm missing?

It's like Reddit, as an link aggregator (Wikipedia said "social news aggregation [...] website"), but federated (in the Fediverse), as in it is not centralized and built upon many instances of Lemmy, not just one centralized website like Reddit.
