I just mentioned it in another comment but Discord servers are one of the newest types of communities popping up (especially for younger folks, but they can be for people of any age). For example, here’s one about gardening: https://discord.gg/D2kCbGY

This is the worst possible outcome for hobby content. At least forum/reddit threads are searchable on the open web and likely to remain available at least for a while.

There are definitely pros and cons. In many ways it’s like a modern equivalent to IRC rather than Reddit/Forums.

Discord is searchable enough. Not being on the open web forever is a feature.
