Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

What do y'all do on YouTube? I have a couple of subscriptions, but after I watch those, YouTube only recommends garbage to me...

That is why, you need to 'tune up' the algorithm 😂

Many of us have been using YT a lot since its conception, that is why the big devil knows us even better than ourselves... Most of the time.

Educational stuff mostly. I will learn about mostly anything even it's not applicable in my life or a topic of fancy.

I avoid every bit of pop culture and drama that fills the site but I will watch a three hour video on the varieties of algae.

That sounds right up my alley. Do you have any good educators you could plug?

I have almost 600 subscriptions. I've been on YouTube since the beginning, pretty much.
