What online community helps you connect the most?

Question:

Where are you interacting with and being interacted with others online in the most authentic and fulfilling way for you?

Background:

I have been really seeking out some participation in a group for the purposes of knowledge sharing. I turned inward with the rejection of typical social media doom scrolling. But have since found it very difficult to get out of isolation with a remote job.

I want to find community digitally but have been struggling to do so.

I joined a gaming Reddit group a decade ago that provided the opportunity for me to talk and play games with a fairly moderated environment.

I’ve found Discord to be substantially less participatory than that TeamSpeak/Reddit combo was.

I would LIKE to find something similar here on Lemmy because I think link aggregators and long form write ups are more of my preference of communication with others online (forums). I’d go to reddit but I left for digital privacy reasons.

What is something that is growing because of young people?

Inspired by a post I saw on AskReddit (which has now been removed). What is something you believe is growing because of young people?

Why can't you post a real shitpost on shitpost@lemmy?

I’ve been banned twice from shitpost because of a shitpost. It seems the people on there are more sensitive than 5 ply toilet paper.

I thought Reddit was bad but they allow for a lot more shitposts than lemmy, where I thought lemmy would be more free but it is way more conservative.

And no it wasn’t even anything racist or degrading. Anyway from now on just rainbows, butterflies, fairies and unicorns are allowed as shitpost. Maybe rename the sub to softpost.
