Could Lemmy be used as a classroom tool (like having a classroom's own instance) (lemmy.world)

I feel like it would be an interesting learning tool cuz I learn a ton on here and it gets me writing without anyone having to hold a gun to my head. I mean like even essay-length or at least essay-worthy treatments of things I respond to in longer-form, and even for the shorter-form stuff

There are already several platforms that can do this, including open source ones like Moodle.

I remember moodle from my school. We barely used it because we all hated it, students and teachers. I'm sure it's improved in the past 15 years though.
