Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoI’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.

I think Mastodon is very far from standard. Way I hear it from the developers, it’s lemmy that is following the Apub standard.
As for the posts outside communities? That makes sense lemmy-wise I think. Where would those posts be? But it doesn’t make sense for Discourse, since they are indeed separated into topics.
