Which underground communities do you visit (be it games, art, music, etc.)?

Don’t feel bad if they don’t overlap 100% with this space: as an example I frequently am on intfiction.org, as they are ace and fresh and innovative, even though they yet have to receive the Gospel of Free Software.

Other places I like:

  • www.mastodon.art and scroll public timeline
  • /p/ (for photography)
  • tooling specific forums like AGS forum
  • TPWitchcraftM

    Good idea. I’m using (mostly lurking on) Mastodon (.social), following some people, browsing some tags now and then. Recently noticed the web revival movement (in fact via a certain blog post about a game called “Pete is Hungry”) and I’m using melonland.net (a old fashioned bb-forum) as a gateway to it; don’t be fooled about the obsession with nostalgia among some of the people there - there is some crazy creativity around. I’m using some of the community functions of Itch.io.

    My mailbox is also a bit active, I occasionally chat with some people.

    A bit OT: I don’t really dwell there, but do you know allegro.cc? Their board is a bit active, and there are many games in different stages of development. Have yet to find the time to take a few strolls there.

      allegro is a fantastic place, and it warms my heart that it is still active after all those year (another proof that OSS outlasts proprietary suites, like XNA).
