Here is a pretty good place to try, and as mentioned [email protected] is the closest thing to a viable normies' mk keyboard community on Lemmy. Most of the reddit-hating graybeards in the mk community were already on geekhack, with a small contingent on keebtalk (I joined both! My beard is already turning grayer!), and then between Discord people, people who don't give a shit about APIs or IPOs, and people who need /r/mechmarket to fund their hobby, there just hasn't been the critical mass of users migrating.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Thanks, I'll post my question there.
(I joined both! My beard is already turning grayer!
Is that what's causing it‽ I was wondering.
No QMK specific community that I'm aware of either, but in addition to this one there's also [email protected] but it's pretty quiet over there.
Ironic
This is the only place I'm aware of, but I've hardly done a thorough search. There are some fediverse/lemmy community search tools out there you could probably hit up. One thing that's most likely true is that there's no official QMK community on Lemmy.
