There's no "lore". Kbin uses /m/ for "magazines". Every freakin' site needs to come up with its own word for the social/data structures that are obviously correctly called "forums".

Or maybe "newsgroups".

Personally I think “communities” is the closest we’ve got to a generic name for those things.
