Quality docomentaries and looks on society on Arte.tv, the european culture channel AFAIK, north americans don't know about its existence. It's available in english. https://www.arte.tv/en/

A while ago ARTE started a side channel and asked users how to name it, which we all know is a bad idea in the internet. The result was "Irgendwas mit ARTE und Kultur" ("something with ARTE and culture") and they really took the name: https://www.youtube.com/c/IrgendwasmitARTEundKultur Kudos to ARTE.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> forum.hardware.fr is a big one (it's not just about computer hardware, there's a decent section about news/world events, etc.) What I assume is the equivalent, forum.hardware.no, used to be huge in Norway in the 00s too, but then the community more or less got swallowed by Reddit.

Very active, I find it much better than reddit where I usually cannot find anything useful, the UI is awful on reddit. The real interesting thing is that there are a lot of threads for very specialized topics (e.g. bikes, mattress, pizza oven or torch lights). Before buying something I usually check if a thread exists and read it / ask questions. You however end up having to revise upwards your budget to buy the stuf…
