How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

A bit of an effortpost :)
Please do crosspost in more fitting communities if you think of any

OK, so is lemmy out of standard or not? Like I can understand why lemmy doesn't support apub notes, as it's out of scope, but why does mastodon support articles badly?
ActivityPub is an extensible protocol. It is not just one thing. Lemmy only supports posts that follow that extension I linked above. That extension has a definition and Lemmy follows it so in that way it is "standard". But it is an extension, not part of the core protocol.
Mastodon and most other fediverse services do not support this extension.
Sounds like mastodon and other services ought to really support this extension though.
Sure. But lemmy would still not show Mastodon posts outside communities even if they supported that extension. Both parties need to move towards each other.
