Create a forum channel type with reddit esque functionality

Hey there, I know this has been proposed before, but I also threw together a ui image on how it could look and operate and an additional thought.

Here's an original post about it : https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360055813291-Suggestion-A-Forum-channel-type-?input_string=Add%20a%20forum%20engine

Basically, weave together Discord, Forum, and Reddit into one channel sub type while retaining discord functionality for posting.

Like forums do, allow the server owners to either allow or disallow emoji use in Topic Emoji selection and topic title. Then give mods the ability to lock, delete, and move topics into other forum subtype channels as necessary.

Like reddit, allow upvoting and downvoting, and filtering based on that.

Furthermore, potentially add additional quick search functions based on who posted the topic and keywords in the topics. So when you click into the search bar directly above the topics, it'll operate just as search does now, but only limited to topic titles (So you can search by topic title keywords, discussion keywords, user, etc)

When you click the topic, inside will basically be a miniature discord channel, where you interact as if you do normal discord.

Here's an image showing my example of what I think would be a good rough ui:
