I’m mostly interested in tech, but I’m curious to hear your favorite forums for any topics, really! Especially some niche, underrated ones…

I'm a scientist who loves memes and shitposts, so it's quite the smattering.

the 195 and 196 communities are amazing. extremely random memes and pics.

shitposting is too notch and /c/memes is good too.

I like the no lawns one over on solar punk, and some other environmental ones

I'm on the self-hosted subs across instances like shitjustworks, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. But it's not niche

HackerNews is ok sometimes. Lot of shitty tech bros there, though, so I don’t bother posting or anything. Good source for interesting links, though!

3dprinting for sure. Friendly, informed and fast replies. Like it there.

This isn't niche at all, but gbatemp is fantastic. Lots of emulation, modding, romhacking, general gaming discission, etc.

Advrider.com for all things motorcycle related.

Sailing Anarchy for all things related to sailing. There's a small subset of folks on there that are very toxic, but it is the best place for extremely technical content.
