    I was just thinking that common forum software implementing ActivityPub would be a great way to link all of these disparate web forums that are still active and have useful content.

      You kind of can with wordpress and the AP plugin. it works with bbpress --maybe not perfectly yet, but it’s a start.

        The problem is a forum Is genuinely different than a Reddit/Lemmy board, where each forum thread can remain indefinitely alive and useful, while a reddy/Lemmy post is designed to decay with time.

        It would have to be heavily modified
