SEO index crawl issues

Hi

I use Yoast SEO, connected site to my webmasters accounts, submitted sitemaps even you say is not at all needed to do.?
I triple checked my sitemaps are OK, no crawl errors no issues and fetched as Google etc etc etc etc.

However, apart from /forum/ (/community) page nothing at all gets indexed unless it is in Yoast sitemap and your inner forum topics, answers etc links are nowhere.

Now, after manually requesting google to fetch from the /forum/ deeper links 4 topics links were finally indexed, but I cannot site and do this every day and every hour!
And we have a ton more posts in forum that are not indexed.

This is TERRIBLE SEO issue.?

A simplest WP site and free blogs get indexed INSTANTLY or within a few hours and we see our posts in page 2 or even 1 within hours or a day.

With the wpForo pages not even for a super longtail KW where only 2 results exist to match it do we appear. NOWHERE.

Do I need to make a wp post deep linking to all forums just so Google and other SE’s find these forum topics and pages?!

Highly disappointing and aggravating, when I see competitor phpBB [2y old or new sites] and wp BBpress site ranking instantly every time a silly 2-word comment gets added to a topic hardly anyone visits but which ranks page 1 or 2 for the KWs we need – and pushes us out of page 1 for our KWs and our wpForo is not getting indexed at all anywhere, even we optimize like crazy, have relevant topics and answers, have super fast caching and page load speed, SSL entire site, mobile friendly etc.?

Why. How to get it to rank without extra endless work making posts to link and requesting Google to recrawl that forum page????
