there is the /r/monero subreddit and a few other subreddits
but reddit is made by the bots, for the bots, no hooman there, only bots
https://monero.town seems to be offline now, that was a lemmy instance reddit-like thing
there's also: https://lounge.monero.observer
which is a chill place from the newsletter https://monero.observer
so dont fuck up the place over there, it's pretty quiet and is nice that way
else there's the matrix channels that are bridged with irc:
https://www.getmonero.org/community/hangouts/
but instead of making accounts, if just interested in catching up with what's new or what then the logs can also be accessed from there: https://monerologs.net
(which the logs dont even need javascript)
and: https://wownero.forum/
which honestly, keeping the server running for it, that's commitment right there :O
and idk, probably other places too, lots of monero people on twatter, mastodon and whatnot
monero also was on keybase at some point before matrix but alot of monero people moved away from it, some people might have stayed on it still and newer people might have joined too
else idk i guess places like https://en.everybodywiki.com/DarkForums which have clearnet sites alongside their onion but it's so hard to keep track of these as they keep going down, rebranding or whatever, it's a whole thing lol
but there might be a few people that use monero in these
so... i guess let's make moneroforum to be a chill hangout place or somethin, cause tbh, reddit or whatever like... yea no thx on the reddit lol
