What other online communities are you part of?

I used to be part of a lot of online forums. In the last 5 years, or more, I feel like I&rsquo;ve only spent time on HN and reddit. What other communities are you part of?

Slashdot, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, DeviantArt, LinkedIn, YouTube
Slashdot - Like HN, but far worse signal to noise
Reddit - If you are careful with the things you join, not actively bad
Twitter - I only follow a few people, and avoid politics
Facebook - Friend and family, where I vent
Flickr - Photo sharing
DeviantArt - Old photo sharing
LinkedIn - Facebook for your resume
YouTube - Lots of interesting things to watch, and comment on

Some parts of Reddit are better than others.
For example, almost all Reddit's investing/finance subreddits are dreadful, but there is an exception:
https://old.reddit.com/r/brkb/
There are really intelligent, fun communities on Reddit, but they can be hard to find.

I recently discovered this discord server: https://discord.gg/MzhGqQCLooks very low-key and less noise.

I visit hubski.com occasionally. It's not super active but it seems to have a lot of smart people on it.

I spend a lot of time on Discord, Twitch, and 4chan. I also play MMORPGs (World of Warcraft Classic, Oldschool Runescape).I would not recommend this lifestyle.

hackaday.io and libera.chat (IRC)Twitter is not a community and I'm not on Reddit but not all subreddits could be called communities.

hooplah · Answer

Forums are still alive and well for most niches. Discord groups serve a specific purpose as well.
Aggregators are nice too, from all sides of the political spectrum to avoid echo chambers/censorship.
News aggregators:
- lobste.rs
- notabug.io
- patriots.win
Forums:
- ar15.com
- pbnation.com
- many many car forums
