I think if you want specifically fediverse answers those are the way to go, but I’ve had a lot of luck with just adding “forum” on the end of stuff. Seems to give an even split between bulletin forums, Reddit/Twitter, and blogs for any given subject matter.

Exactly. At this point I’m more invested in fediverse services. Between that and RSS feeds, they scratch 90% of the dopamine itch that Twitter and Reddit did. If the communities just continue to expand a little bit more at the rate they’re already going, I’ll have no desire to look back.
