I feel like you can get away with "As we both know" dialogue but you have to be careful and have a good reason why both characters would be bringing the topic up in the first place. Like, maybe there's been a new development and one of the characters needs to be reminded of what happened for context.

I personally love how S.M. Stirling did exposition in the first book of his Domination of the Draka quadrilogy, Marching Through Georgia. Every chapter he started with exposition framed through in world books on history in history, philosophy or arms, like 200 Years: A Social History of the Domination, by Alan E. Sorensson, Ph.D. Archons Press 1983, Under the Yoke: Postwar Europe by Angelo Menzarotti, Cuba State University Press, Havana, 1977, Daughter of Darkness: A Life by Anna Von Shrakenberg, Empires of the Night: A 40s Journal by William A. Dreiser, Weapons of the Eurasian War by Colonel Carlos Fueterrez, U.S. Army (ret.) Defense Institute Press, Mexico City, 1955, Meditations: Colder than the Moon by Elvira Nalderssen, Archona Press, 1930, Fire And Blood: The Eurasian War VI: The Gathering Thunder, 1930-1941 by Strategos Robert A. Jackson (ret.), New Territories Press, Vienna, 1965, and an assortment of internal memos between security personnel, all of these would have been real things written and/or published in this universe and I love that so much.

For 1. Dialogue: Instead of the maid and butler expositing the lore/situation, they can discuss their reflection--how they are feeling, or action--what they are doing because of the circumstances. Yeah?

as an aspiring comic writer and reader of manga, #3 is a big one for a lot of mangaka 😂 or liek they do #2 the audience is like "wtf just happened" and then the mangaka is like #3 "ok so ill tell u the witch's powers cuz it's fking weird but the protagonists still dont know it"

One of my favorite ways I’ve seen EARLY lore dumping done is in horizon zero dawn where aloy attends a tribal festival and there are optional interactions where she can just sit listen to one of the leaders tell a story of the tribe. It doesn’t affect the story at all if you know this info, but worldbuilding through diagetic stories that are also probably exagerrated or skewed are really cool imo. Good set-up for a subversion of expectations too.
