I am starting to suspect that there might be nothing to find.
I just don't think people (other then the tech oriented) are creating websites and running forums - and why would they? Reddit might be be only place you _can_ find that type of content. What should search engines do then?
With a tiny number of exceptions, it might be that people chat on reddit, read Wikipedia, ask questions on the stackexchange network/Quora, local communities use facebook groups, and businesses have a wordpress site with nothing more then a bit of fluff, a phone number and an email address.

Another thing I like doing is adding phrases like "creative commons" to already-long queries to filter out some corporate results, or adding `-gdpr -ccpa -"sell my info"` to limit results to sites made by small orgs and individuals who don't collect enough data or make enough money to warrant compliance measures.
