Discord for games with friends, and for a couple niche pieces of software too small for forums.
Lemmy for broad-appeal topics like world news and less niche tech.
And Im not sure if it still counts when I just lurk now, but Reddit for everything else, since none of it moved over to lemmy. Gaming subreddits, more niche tech, history and accedemic topics, local and lifestyle stuff, ect.
IRC, assorted mailing lists and forums, Matrix, Mastodon and occasionally Reddit (blasphemy, I know)
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
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
Ive used discord, trying to run away from it
If anyone wants to chat im down my contact site lol (idk if thats self advertising)
Hey I'm here for it. Thanks for the link--I'll add you to my feed.
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?
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.
Mastodon mostly
Lemmy is my go to when I have downtime and want to mindlessly scroll but Iβve been really into making things lately so Iβve been on GitHub for fun trying to understand how other projects work.
Lemmy, Matrix and Piped.
