Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?
SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 weeks agoIf there was a Reddit/Lemmy style website (where people create communities for various subjects but it’s all available from the same website using the same credentials) with forum style discussions
Isn’t this just Discourse?

I’ll go take a look, but isn’t it just the software behind the various forums and you need separate credentials for each one?

It has ActivityPub support so it is connected to the fediverse in some ways. Lemmy doesn’t work with it though AFAIK because Lemmy doesn’t support posts made outside communities.

Why doesn’t discourse simply make their different topics into communities is the question

I mean you could equally ask why does Lemmy not support posts outside communities? It’s on both parties to interoperate I think. Lemmy also uses a specific extension to ActivityPub while Discourse’s posts and Mastodon’s posts and such are pretty standard, but still not picked up by Lemmy.
