Lemmy is great and it is in essence an aggregated forum. But I would like to know how I can also find forums about specific topics.

For example I am very interested in football but the only place I can really find any discussion of football is r/soccer on reddit. I would like to find smaller but active forums where the discussions are more slow paced and drawn out over time.

I would like to know how to find these places on the internet, if they still exist, for any topic.

    I think the claim that the internet is dead outside of that is not true. I just think that the way in which we discover things has changed so substantially that it seems that outside of the big players it is hard to find stuff.

    For example if you google nostupidquestions forum this community does not come up. Even you search for nostupidquestions community it does not come up within the first 3 pages. Since searching is the gatekeeper for most discovery of new places on the internet we find new things less.

    That’s just an example of why it is hard to find slightly nice things nowadays.
