I wonder what the phpBB of social media/smartphone apps would look like.

As someone who runs a vBulletin forum, seems like Discord is the rage nowadays.

You could theme your phpBB forum, install mods, add lots of fun flourishing touches (like custom ranks), etc. Some forums displayed avatars and post counts, others didn't . All that made every single phpBB forum feel like its own distinct community. I don't see that with Instagram.
