How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? (dbzer0.com)

Even lemmy, which is small in comparison has enough people that I barely even think about specific users. Let alone speak with them on a personal level.

I have a different experience but I'm on a very smaller instance than .world. Your instance is big, generalist but their is lots of them that are location- or topic-oriented. Such instances are not only smaller with a more personnalised local thread but the people on it share already identified common points with you.

Unfortunately, there is no instance matching my interests. There are a number of communities across different instances, but it seems like several people tried to make their own, didn't interact with each other and all of them are long dead.

Once I find such an instance, I'll switch over. I've been meaning to leave .world anyways.

Perhaps find like-minded folks and start one?

What are your interests?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Back on reddit, I mostly interacted with communities relating to JRPGs. There are some communities over here, but at most they post some trailers every now and then. There are also some more focussd communities about Dragon Quest, Xenoblade or SMT - all of them practically dead. I don't think there is an instance.

I could go over to a programming related one, the german instance or even one of the vegan instances for secondary 'interests', but those aren't things I often find myself posting about online to be honest. They seem to be mostly about memes anyways.

https://lemmy.zip/ could be a good fit for you. It's reliable, transparent (https://lemmy.zip/post/22004722?scrollToComments=true) and hosts communities about gaming and technology.

The main jrpg community is actually hosted there ([email protected] )

On the other hand, wherever the communities are, you can just subscribe to them whatever instance you are using, so it's not that big of a deal.
