what forums are out there that people actually go to, besides Lemmy?

I see a lot of people saying online that "forums are dying off because of discord and reddit"

yet other people reply: "Well, I'm still using my forum/IRC."

So I have to ask, what forums that are decently big still exist? Only one I can think of is Nomutantsallowed for fallout related content.

  • I know this won't interest most lemmy users, but the forums for most large american colligate sports programs are alive and well.

  • The only two that I ever still make use of are XDA for custom firmwares and other Android related shit. And Pokecommunity for the ROM hacking / decompilation stuff.

  • There are so many niche forums.

    Here's one I found a while ago when I was looking at repairing an old electric fan I found: Antique Fan Collector's Forum.

    In the way that people would always add "reddit" to their searches, try just adding "forum".

  • Tacomaworld, there is another Toyota forum but the name eludes me at this moment. Vwvortex is still around i think. My guild from a MUD i play on occasion still has a forum, as does the MUD,

  • Does anyone remember Megalinks on Reddit? They started a forum after it was shut down, I was lucky enough to get invited before they closed registration. The forums are still very active and it's the best community I've experienced online. I spend as much time there as I do here.

  • I only have a Spanish one in my sight (it is like a reborn, I haven't even signed in yet, I had an account for the previous website) called foros dz.

    I also have some other Spanish forums bookmarked, gaming related but I think they are just dead.

  • The Gear Page is very active as are sister sites like strat forums, my les paul etc

    Talk photography

    Fred Miranda photography forums

    Av forums

    Watchuseek

    What HiFi

    I used to live on the winamp forums, but I haven't for a long time and it's pretty dead now.
