OK, so is lemmy out of standard or not? Like I can understand why lemmy doesn't support apub notes, as it's out of scope, but why does mastodon support articles badly?

ActivityPub is an extensible protocol. It is not just one thing. Lemmy only supports posts that follow that extension I linked above. That extension has a definition and Lemmy follows it so in that way it is "standard". But it is an extension, not part of the core protocol.

Mastodon and most other fediverse services do not support this extension.
