I know you said no language specific subreddits but. r/rust and r/rust_gamedev

There are some non-language specific ones I like too though. r/IndieDev r/gamedev r/gameenginedevs r/Demoscene r/MediaSynthesis

+1 for r/emudev. Amazing community, and was a huge help to me when i was building my first gameboy emulator. https://github.com/shafinsiddique/alchemy

Ironically enough, I tend to find more useful rust snippets in r/rustjerk than in the official r/rust sub.

To the author: thank you for this, I’ve mostly given up on aggregators for surfacing deep technical content. Looks like I was wrong.

If people are looking to find more niche subreddits related to their other interests I've found this page https://anvaka.github.io/sayit/ to be quite useful.

Yeah, the rust Reddit is to me, the #1 reason I stick with Rust when I think I will not survive it!

The amount of helpful answers is outstanding, and is self-reinforcing: I try to participate on it every time I can.

Other reddit I enjoy a lot is r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

/r/sysadmin is not a software sub but is generally a good sub for discussion in the tech space with a focus on sysadmin and DevOps. It also gives you an alternative perspective on a lot of things. A lot of the people there are also programmers from my take.

Yeah I imagine there are some good game subreddits! I just am not into that scene so can't comment. Thanks for sharing!

/r/programminglanguages is second on the list! :)
