Imagine a forum where each post is piece of theory. Users can create and rate connections between posts. There are three types of connection: introductory, elaborative and contra.

How could one easily implement such a forum (as someone who knows nothing about web-dev)? Would lemmy work? All you'd need is three bot-generated pinned top-level comments under each post, one for each type of connection, then users submit connections in the form of links as replies to those top-level comments. Though it would be nice to be able to sort those replies by rating. Does Lemmy fulfill any/all of those requirements? Any other software that could fit the bill?
