I wonder if y’all can help me out—I’m trying to collect a list of web development communities (not related to any one specific tool or framework), can you reply with your favorites?

(if you don’t have a favorite I will also accept communities you’re familiar with 😅)

@zachleat I’m surprised to see that no one mentioned the WordPress community yet. That’s a shame, because it is not only huge, obviously, but also very welcoming and diverse. Pinging @remkus for a confirmation.

@paul @zachleat absolutely, yes! What kind of web development communities are you looking for Zach? I'm asking because our community is so big that we have many groups focusing on particular tools and such!

@remkus @paul I wouldn’t turn away any mentions but my original question was looking for communities that are independent of a single-tool!

@zachleat sorry, I overread that part in first instance.

@hi_mayank @mrtrimble @peruvianidol this is a deep reference!! I’d bet most folks don’t know this one nowadays 😅

@zachleat As someone in the New Haven, CT area, I'm rather partial to our local https://newhaven.io discord community.
Edit: I realize you said "web dev" newhaven.io is actually all kinds of dev.

I used to read Medium a lot, and I still occasionally enjoy dev.to, but the noise-signal ratio doesn't feel optimal on those platforms.

If anything it's brought me back to the "small web". I'm using RSS much more, as well as Kagi's "small web" project when I'm searching.

@zachleat there's a really long running German HTML community too that I've totally forgotten the name of 🤔

@sarajw
Are you thinking of selfhtml.org?

That’s how I learned back in the day.
