Not equivalent exactly, but the fediverse or IRC have been fun places for me to chat about some hobbies. gemini is another option. I think people write gemlogs on there and then others write some in response. I only use gemini a little bit, and just as a reader.
Something like IRC for chatting combined with a wiki to manage info related to the hobby could work well.
You could also treat Reddit like reading a book or Wikipedia and choose not to contribute. Go there to learn something, bring the info back to your own space you're building that has people you'd rather be around.
- andyana 5y ago> Go there to learn something I think that's the problem OP is trying to solve. Reddit has devolved into an "our way or the highway" mentality in many subreddits. On example I remember reading about a while back concerns the use of PVC piping in hydroponics. Basically, because someone said brittle PVC pipes don't contain pthalates, so you don't have to worry about any of that stuff leaching into your plants as they grow. Proof? "No, just believe us." That's not the kind of knowledge I want.
