Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

Well...

[–] nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

IRC, assorted mailing lists and forums, Matrix, Mastodon and occasionally Reddit (blasphemy, I know)

[–] amitten@normalcity.life 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not blasphemy at all. If you enjoy it, then it's a great place for you. What good communities do you know of on IRC?

Edit: and matrix? Edit: and Mastodon too? lol

[–] h_a_r_u_k_i@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago

Mostly YouTube, Hacker News, and some mailing lists. I do join some random forums to discuss non-tech hobbies like English writings, games, or classical music.

Lemmy is my go to when I have downtime and want to mindlessly scroll but I’ve been really into making things lately so I’ve been on GitHub for fun trying to understand how other projects work.

Matrix, lemmy, mastodon, mumble, im not a fan of irc I have an xmpp, i dont use it often tho I also have signal for irls

[–] amitten@normalcity.life 3 points 11 months ago

Why not IRC? I mean, if you want private conversation, then that's not your place. But for a community? Not sure I see a huge problem with it. I love the idea of XMPP as a better IRC, but I never found a place to hang out there. What do you think?

[–] fluffery@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Since Boost for Reddit still works I'm usually over there.

Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)

[–] amitten@normalcity.life 2 points 11 months ago (7 children)

Woah I've never heard of discuit before. Looks really cool. How long have you been on there?

[–] newtraditionalists@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Since the reddit api exodus. It's a small community, but feels very tight knit. It's also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.

[–] kerplink@lemmy.sedimentarymountains.com 2 points 11 months ago

I second Discuit. It was started in response to the Reddit API shenanigans last June. It seems to have avoided the spam and instability that have plagued Lemmy (at least so far).
