Honestly, just set up an RSS feed. The internet is a bunch of isolated echo-chambers where you self-select into the chamber with the narrative you favor.

Recommend? None.
Find something you like. Format, UI, etc. I'm partial to the old early 2000s vBulletin forum format.

Is lobsters similar to tildes?
Ya, altho I dont feel as comfortable commenting or posting there cuz they're a bit intense and it doesn't like humor as much in my limited experience. I like that I have an account but my engagement is much more limited there.
Which are you referring to? Less comfortable on tildes or lobsters?
Lobsters. I feel at home on basically every other platform altho I'm a bit more serious on HN but I'm just a bit uneasy on Lobsters. Prefer to lurk there, i do plenty of engagement elsewhere to the point its actually kind of nice to shut the hell up once in a while I suppose🤐
Edit: having said that, the quality of discourse is quite high and you learn a lot from it. I'm sure if I cleaned things up a lot I'd be fine but I like to be quiet on there and just lurk
Following. There's a forum for everything - or almost everything.
However, one gap that I'm aware of - I've not found a forum (or even fediverse magazine/community) for third culture kids. There were some in the past, but AFAIK they've all gone defunct by now.
