what forums are out there that people actually go to, besides Lemmy?

[inf_v@kbin.earth]

I see a lot of people saying online that "forums are dying off because of discord and reddit"

yet other people reply: "Well, I'm still using my forum/IRC."

So I have to ask, what forums that are decently big still exist? Only one I can think of is Nomutantsallowed for fallout related content.

tildes seems pretty active

spacebattles as well

and the dwarf fortress forum, too

[flemmy@lemm.ee]

The Dwarf Fortress forum is most likely full of big bearded dwarves. Also the Elder Scrolls lore community is my magical hangout, Warhammer too.

I know this won't interest most lemmy users, but the forums for most large american colligate sports programs are alive and well.

[shittybeatlesfcpres@lemmy.world]

The Android rom ones like xda forums are active.

This is definitely not what you’re looking for but college sports forums are active if you want to read the dumbest shit ever.

I’m from Louisiana so I’ll pick on my own team and link to to Tiger Droppings:

The recipe posts are actually good. It’s basically a forum for insane people who get mad about LSU gymnastics recruiting but then post an alligator sauce picante recipe that’s better than anything you’ve ever put in your mouth.

The EndeavourOS forum to give support (I use base Arch, but they're close enough), the Lutris forums, and Blenderartists. Stackoverflow and similar services, and various issue trackers, if you count those.

Here’s the food/drink topic section:

It’s insane (compliment) and also insane (derogatory).

Spacebattles is still alive.

Nexusmods "forums" and pages still have some social activity.

TBH it’s pretty barren. I noticed that even comment sections are drying up.

A jambalaya v.7.3 ratio spreadsheet exists:

This varies a lot by individual, but I have a Newgrounds account and I post to the forums that are there too!

[theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

cs.rin.ru

[nokturne213@sopuli.xyz]

Tacomaworld, there is another Toyota forum but the name eludes me at this moment. Vwvortex is still around i think. My guild from a MUD i play on occasion still has a forum, as does the MUD,

You mean across many websites don't you?

I definitely see a lot of websites with a comment box that it is just a wasteland lol.

I am sometimes like, jeez why even bother to include a comment box

[ephera@lemmy.ml]

Larger open-source projects tend to have forums. Here's a few off the top of my head:

• https://forum.luanti.org/
• https://tavern.dcss.io/
• https://users.rust-lang.org/ (and https://internals.rust-lang.org/ )
• https://forums.opensuse.org/

[kratoz29@lemm.ee]

I only have a Spanish one in my sight (it is like a reborn, I haven't even signed in yet, I had an account for the previous website) called foros dz.

I also have some other Spanish forums bookmarked, gaming related but I think they are just dead.

[jaygray91@lemmy.zip]

If you're into headphones and related encoutrement, head-fi.org is still thriving.
