Message boards etc. still exist but I generally have thought of them as distinct from "social media". The distinguishing characteristic is algorithmic feeds. Also, Lemmy is mostly link aggregation, which is much less of a thing on message boards. Lemmy is even more like that than Reddit was, despite the implementations being similar.
