    Lately I was looking for a book club that I could join. I've never been a part of book club, so I feel a bit anxious to start now. Will try no to allow fears dictate my wants. I'm excited to try book club experience here!

    I see here quite negative feedback towards these sites. While I agree that they are not ideal source for seasoned tech people, but we should never forget how many of us get there. These sites are very valuable to people that are trying to understand new concepts and get into tech, they don't need complete information, not even always absolutely correct. It needs to be good enough, engaging enough to help people progress in their journey. I can't remember last time I've checked SO and similar, but I can really remember how many years ago I looked into these sites and how much they helped me to stay motivated! These sites are stepping stones for I believe quite a lot of people.

    And these sites offer some kind of map, guidance and links to new unknowns. So I would argue that they are more useful than just plain AI response.

    I think to be inline with vision of whole federated ecosystem, this list should include multiple options for the subreddit alternatives. For example, for /r/gaming, not only Gaming@beehaw.org...

    I think to be inline with vision of whole federated ecosystem, this list should include multiple options for the subreddit alternatives.
    For example, for /r/gaming, not only Gaming@beehaw.org instance should be noted, but also others, like Gaming@lemmy.ml.
