I am very curious about Facebook groups: did you find good ones? My experience with Facebook content has been total garbage and I'd like to know if my experience is just circumstantial.

  There are some solid communities but for me it wasn't worth the price of being on that dumpster fire

  Yep, there are some amazing FB groups out there still. Some of them are even still Public groups, which I lurk in only because of how the Public model works, but the content is incredible. SF books, SF movies, wargaming, some linuxes, specific ham radio models, specific niche meme groups too, and that's just what I've found useful. But also it's a terrific environment for retro things. Retro TTRPGs, programming languages you used to use a lot, stores you used to like, even. (If you're into art, be sure to check out art and artist groups/pages. People wonder where Flickr went and it's right there, not Instagram.) Keep in mind that some of these groups actively use their Files and Photos sections which can be like gold. FB's participation model does incentivize things like simple brigading & passive-aggressive behavior, though (IMO), so it's also a good idea to get a feel for the quality of discourse and moderation before diving in if you are interested in participating rather than lurking. It's really too bad the participation model has to be so static across the entire platform, because some of the groups are one or two customizations/tweaks away from being really epic with regard to community particpation. You could solve a lot of the social problems there with a more dynamic approach to the software design & provisioning.

If you want multiple in the same page: https://devurls.com/ https://devurls.com/ https://sciurls.com/ https://sciurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ https://techurls.com/ I mainly stick to HN, Lobste.rs, and a few tech related Reddits.
