Denver Post: One Reddit user ousted, and a ‘reign’ over a Louisville online community ends. “In the Louisville subreddit, some users said the former moderator had used the group in an attempt to push a political message, with one saying they are ‘a libertarian who didn’t even live in Louisville and had taken over several small town subs.'”

Here are two very different subreddits that I created and administrate.

This is a subreddit for those who love, or are even curious about, opera and its singers from the 1950's and earlier. Feel free to ask questions, share reviews and links, and discuss this wonderful genre of music and the singers and composers who brought it to life. Everyone, from beginners to experts, is welcome.

If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you. I am not an administrator there, only of Blind and Fine.

Comprehensive list of fanfiction resources

Hi everyone. I'm trying to compile a comprehensive list of fanfiction resources—sites, forums, tools, communities… I've got a starter list from my own browsing, but I know I'm missing a lot. I'd appreciate your input.

I'm especially interested in:

• Sites or tools that recommend fanfics based on your feedback or ratings (like a "if you liked this, try this" engine).
• Sites, forums, or communities specifically for dark fics, or for progression/system/gamer/litrpg fics.
• Other hidden gem forums, niche archives for specific fandoms, or lesser-known tracking/discovery tools.

Here's what I have so far:

General Forums/Archives:

• Archive of our own, Fanfiction.net (most popular fanfic sites)
• Royal Road, ScribbleHub, Webnovel, fiction.live
• Wattpad (popular because it has a phone app)
• Questionable Questing, SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity (forum software, they have very limited search/filtering capabilities)

Fandom-Specific/Specialty Hubs:

• Dark Lord Potter (primarily Harry Potter, especially darker takes, with other fandom sections)
• HPFanfiction Recommender (discontinued due to reddit not allowing bots any longer)

Tools, Databases, & Discovery:

• fichub.net (for downloading)
• ficdb.net (for discovery)
• Calibre + FanFicFare plugin
• Celestial Gambler, Chaos Gacha by Bronz Deck

Communities (Reddit/Discord/Other):

• Subreddits: r/FanFiction, r/ProgressionFantasy, r/dark_fanfiction, r/NarutoFanfiction, r/WormFanfic (and many other fandom-specific ones).
• Discord servers: Gaming Omniverse, Waifu Catalog, Celestial Forge, Celestial Emporium
• Lemmy: reddthat.com/c/fanfiction, literature.cafe/c/fanfiction and lemmy.ml/c/fanfiction
• NodeBB: I know of Darkscribes but it's completely empty. Are there any NodeBB communities for fanfic or general literature?

Personal tracking lists:

• For example, my reading list sorted by date and by rating

Misc

• AO3 progression fantasy search
• Space Battles "Progression Fantasy" tag
• QQ "Waifu Catalog" tag
• WeakToStrong Webnovel
• Rulate "System" tag
• Kemono has a similar artists tab
• Interactive Waifu Catalog to quickly search image of characters when reading story
• Who's your favorite fanfiction author?
• Which is your favorite fandom?

Fandoms with progression fantasy system

• Danmachi
• Konosuba
• Solo Leveling

Thanks in advance for helping build this out. I think a lot of us would find it useful.

Is Reddit the Secret Weapon Every Graphic Designer Needs?

Are you a graphic designer looking for a new source of inspiration, feedback, or even job opportunities? Do you want to connect with like-minded creatives? Maybe you’ve overlooked a powerful platform sitting right under your nose: Reddit. Yes, the “front page of the internet” can be a game-changer for graphic designers.

Reddit isn’t just for memes and cat videos. It’s a thriving hub of niche communities, including a vibrant and supportive design community. You might be surprised at the wealth of resources and opportunities it offers. And speaking of supportive communities, have you heard of r/Design_WATC? It’s our very own Reddit community. It’s a fantastic place where designers connect, share work, and get valuable feedback. Consider subscribing! You won’t regret it. Imagine having access to instant critiques, learning about the latest trends, and even finding your next client – all in one place. Sound too good to be true? Keep reading, and you might just change your mind about Reddit.

Why Should Graphic Designers Care About Reddit?

Reddit provides so many things for designers. It fosters a unique sense of community. It offers practical learning opportunities. But are these really that valuable? Let’s be honest, it depends on how you use it. And for graphic designers, the potential benefits are immense. From honing skills to networking and even showcasing work, Reddit can be an invaluable tool.

Instant Feedback: Sharpen Your Design Skills on Reddit

One of the biggest advantages of using Reddit for graphic design is the availability of instant feedback. Subreddits dedicated to critique, such as r/DesignCritiques, offer a space to share your work. You can receive constructive criticism from other designers. This feedback can be invaluable for identifying areas for improvement and refining your skills. Are you stuck on a project? Post it. Are you unsure about a color palette? Ask for opinions. The community is ready to help. This is the same philosophy we practice over at r/Design_WATC, so you’ll feel right at home.

This instant feedback loop helps designers grow. It accelerates the learning process. It can offer insights that you might not have considered otherwise. Remember, though, be prepared to receive both positive and negative feedback. Embrace the criticism as an opportunity to learn and evolve.

Learn the Trends and Techniques on Reddit

Staying up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques is crucial in the graphic design world. Reddit is a great resource for this. Design-focused subreddits such as r/graphic_design often feature discussions about current trends. They also share tutorials and resources for mastering new software and techniques.

Furthermore, you can learn from the work of others. By browsing through different design projects, you can gain inspiration. You can also discover new approaches to problem-solving. Follow popular designers and studios on Reddit to stay informed about their latest work and insights. On r/Design_WATC, we also encourage sharing helpful resources and discussing emerging trends.

Networking and Building Connections: Reddit’s Design Community

Networking is essential for any creative professional. Reddit provides a platform to connect with other designers from around the world. You can participate in discussions, share your experiences, and build relationships with like-minded individuals. Don’t forget to introduce yourself over at r/Design_WATC!

Consider joining subreddits focused on specific design niches. For instance, logo design (r/logodesign) or web design (r/web_design). These communities offer targeted networking opportunities. You might even find collaborators for future projects or mentors to guide you in your career.

Showcase Your Portfolio and Find Job Opportunities on Reddit

Reddit can be a surprisingly effective platform for showcasing your portfolio. Many designers share their work on subreddits like r/DesignPorn to gain exposure and attract potential clients. Of course, you should be mindful of self-promotion guidelines and focus on providing value to the community. We encourage showcasing your work on r/Design_WATC, as long as you’re also actively participating in the community!

Some subreddits, such as r/forhire, are dedicated to connecting freelancers with clients. Keep an eye out for design-related job postings. You never know – your next big project might be waiting for you on Reddit!

Navigating the Reddit Design Landscape: Finding Your Niche

Reddit boasts a vast network of communities. Finding the right subreddits for graphic designers can feel overwhelming. The key is to identify your specific interests and goals. Start with broad design subreddits and then narrow your focus as you discover your niche.

Here are a few popular and helpful subreddits for graphic designers to explore:

• r/graphic_design: A general forum for discussions, news, and resources related to graphic design.
• r/DesignCritiques: A place to share your work and receive constructive criticism from other designers.
• r/logodesign: A community dedicated to logo design, branding, and visual identity.
• r/web_design: A forum for web designers to discuss trends, techniques, and best practices.
• r/typography: A subreddit focused on typography, lettering, and font design.
• r/DesignPorn: Showcasing beautiful and inspiring design projects.
• r/forhire: A place for freelancers to find clients and clients to find freelancers.
• r/AdobeIllustrator A place for Adobe Illustrator users to find help and assistance and inspiration

Don’t forget about r/Design_WATC! It’s another great place to find inspiration and support.

Don’t be afraid to explore lesser-known subreddits that align with your unique interests. The more specific your focus, the more targeted your networking and learning opportunities will be.

Contributing to the Community: Giving Back to Reddit

The beauty of Reddit lies in its collaborative nature. Don’t just be a passive consumer of information.
