Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

Discord

Yeah I'm on like 6 discord servers.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm in dozens, but frequent about 6 as well. I find it's pretty good for finding communities about niche subjects which helps replace reddit. It also feels less like yelling into the void since there is that "live chat" feeling, and yet I never feel pressured to answer immediately.

6? I'm on... 90? Oh lord.

Congratulations! I can't deal with that amount of notifications.

I don't really get a lot of notifications from discord. Sometimes a "server" will @everyone but that's rare. I usually just disable that feature when I join new servers anyway.

I have too many servers that use @everyone. Annoying.
