I'm an IT professional but I find most IT communities to be full insufferable people and full of useless and irrelevant information on obscure systems and practices that don't apply to the average IT job which is sys admining windows/linux/mac.
Would love a community that was chill and not full of people trying to one up one another about how amazing they are or how hardcore their lab is.
I appreciated the programmerhumor, sysadmin, and talesfromtechsupport subreddits for that vibe. I havenβt found equivalents here yet unfortunately.
You can find programmerhumor at: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.
Do we already have r/brandnewsentence over here?

Then you might like the homelab/self-host communities.
No, i don't. I don't have a home lab or a self host. I have a mac laptop at home and nothing else.
my job is at my job. I don't bring it home.
You asked for some chill communities for discussing IT stuff. As you already mentioned, chill communities are hard to come by. Don't diss it so readily just because you don't have a homelab or self-host, plenty of people in those communities aren't either but they're still there to enjoy the discussion.
