Maybe a niche question but Iโ€™m looking for a community focused on arts and culture around the world rather than sharing your own work.

I can easily find it somewhere like The Guardian, but I was hoping there was something in the fediverse or forum based for discourse.

Any ideas?

I still occasionally browse Ultimate-Guitar.com for rock/guitar news, it's fun, but I could use seeing other sites and will be following this thread with great interest! :)

All else fails weโ€™ll just have to start a community ๐Ÿ˜…

You are welcome at the https://lemmy.ca/c/art community. Currently, most submissions are people's artworks, but what you describe is also seems relevant to the community and I'd post content too if there's interest in it!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !art@lemmy.ca, !art@lemmy.ca

I will totally subscribe if you do.

Oh my god I used to LIVE in Ultimate-Guitar back in the day. It was the first actual forum community I got into, and I played a lot of guitar, so I was always into the culture and news.

Oh my gosh, I'm getting flashbacks that bloody "wut" pear in The Pit! :) Me too, I miss that place being the biggest part of the internet to me, simpler and much more musical times! :)

[-] Varyag@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

THE GODDAMN PEAR! I saw people get banned over it lmao. Yeah, good times back then. Being online was a lot less bullshit.

[-] GoOnASteamTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Oh wow, I'm glad it wasn't just a fever dream! Nobody I know was witness to it, so my friends look at me blankly if the pear ever comes up! :) People speedrunning getting banned from the pit via lolwut was always funny. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It truly was, just a bunch of people with a common interest being mostly pretty cool to each other... Damn that was a good forum. :) This is the nearest thing I've seen to the vibe of it, but still not with all the comedy and characters (yet!)
