What are some of your favorite communities that feature topics like literature, science, ecology, aerospace, technology, politics, history, arts, culture, theory, and debate?
Where do responsible, respectful adults go for discussions and for substantive, high quality posts and comments by decent human beings?
(Not just limited to academic/intellectual topics, could be anything from hobbies to defense contracts to careers to skills. Just looking for respectful, reasonably intelligent, informed, relatively engaged communities.)
Also, are forum aggregators like Lemmy and Reddit even the best places to find such communities outside of listservers, universities, and academic conferences?
If you use exclamation, links work ;) !13thfloor@kbin.social
Thanks. It doesn’t work for me to type that with the way kbin formats (we use two lots of @ so what you typed is just plain text to me) so I have to do it with urls and was being lazy.
I have both lemmy and kbin formats for everything in my bio but I’m not sure if Lemmings can read my bio.
Only for Lemmy. I think Kbin accounts access magazines a different way, but not sure. Sometimes I hear an @ sign works, sometimes I hear it doesn’t, so I’ll throw it in anyway:
