I expected to see IRC communities as well. Is there a collection of communities that aren't hosted by corporations?
There's plenty of interesting places on IRC, mailing list, XMPP, Mastodon. Downvote me to hell, but best communities I hang out in are far from shiny/hip/popular, and this is why they are good.

dev.to is new medium.com

In the last few months there’s even steady amount of posts with “Come and see my YouTube” kind of approach, which is tragic. :/

Any good communities (not on reddit) for Electrical/Computer Engineers? Things like HDL, Embedded, VLSI, General Electronics?
I don't think reddit is a good use of a programmer's time these days if you are seeking community.

As other people have noted in this thread, dev.to has the same problem. I haven't f…
Would you mind sharing what the exception communities are?

I like /r/coding but it's pretty dead and sometimes /r/scala will have decent blog posts. Also /r/hnblogs is very decent,…
