What are we going to do about it?
Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Forums are still alive in ultra niche communities. My favorites: Badger and Blade for wet shaving, Snuffhouse for snuff tobacco, Quantnet for quantitative finance. All of these gather way better content and users than their Reddit counterpart, which usually devolves into memes and pic of the day stuff
Not just ultra niche, I’d say. League of Comics Geeks is an amazing site for comic book discussion. Board Game Geek has very active forums. I guess what both of those have in common is that they integrate collections and metadata with discussion.
I’ve never went further than tracking issue releases for comic geeks but it would be great to talk comics
Forgot about BGG! That one is amazing, too
How do you discover these nowadays? Feels like finding new websites on the net has gotten so tedious.
I just stumble upon them using Kagi search and phind.com
