Thanks, but to clarify when asking specifically for adults, I don't mean involving alcohol (or despite an earlier reply's suggestion, sex).

Outside of the tech differences, given that it's for socializing and has fewer people you want to follow, what else keeps you using it? Are there some people/communities (besides aforementioned cryptobros) only on there that you've found of interest?
Yeah, it may not be the larger scale but it strikes at the basic idea I was thinking of, so thanks!
Hadn't heard of the first two, thanks!
If a bunch of them have coordinated a themed red light district, I guess that may count for the most explicit approach to this idea, but I don't know of any that have, albeit maybe parts of Vegas have given that a run for its money.
Honestly any, even if I may never get a chance to visit, I like learning about some of them, particularly ride designs and engineering. (Also for those lurking, this question is mainly inspired by having watched some more Defunctland videos lately.)
I open it in my browser and leave the tab open forever (because I will never come back to it).
I do this too, to a degree, but have you tried bookmarking in your browser more? I have and it's been pretty nice for maintaining this habit without having a tab perpetually open (I write as I have like 10+ tabs perpetually open that I swear I'll get back to eventually).
What would one recommend as more of a custom build version of these with a way to connect a convenient remote (smartphone or otherwise)? Alternatively is there a way to sort of jailbreak many of them, or does that just become more cumbersome?
Have you checked out the following few communities?
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca for new communities to promote themselves as they try to get off the ground.
!newcommunities@lemmy.world for more or less the same, just via Lemmy World.
Also an underrated community that I like to use occasionally:
!lemmy411@lemmy.ca to ask about whether specific communities exist/are around that you may not be having much luck finding (say, due to unique naming or nobody on your instance has joined it so it doesn't appear in search).
Lastly there's my own little community I threw together awhile ago that I'm not sure how to grow where you can ask around for stuff similar to other stuff you're into:
I've not tried Florisboard yet, but OpenBoard doesn't have it (neither in the main build nor forks from what I can tell) and nor is it available in AnySoftKeyboard's default install, but it's highly customizable so it may be an option there.
That said, isn't spellcheck underlining more frequently in the apps you're typing into rather than the virtual keyboard? Tbh I hadn't ever noticed it in Gboard before, but I haven't used it in a little while (though in looking into its settings I see it now, I guess I thought it'd been the other apps instead the whole time).
They're not also locked into Facebook? It seems like far too many public services communicate through these non-public platforms (i.e. often more easily viewed or sometimes only viewable with an account).
