Yeeeah, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but fandom communities don't really exist anymore.

[philstar22]

Sure they do, just depends on the fandom and the website.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. I'm a part of two small but very active fandom communities myself.

[(Anonymous)]

Speak for yourself, I'm in a fandom discord and following someone reading the canon for one of my fandoms for the first time over on tumblr.

It's 1000% dependent on the fandom, but communities are in fact still a thing, even on DW.

[philstar22]

So sorry, nonny. I'm sorry you've lost so much and are going through this. I hope you find the community you are craving.

I feel this

[(Anonymous)]

I gave up on fandom. This (FS) is my only fandom and 'community' I participate in anymore. It definitely sucks and has left a hole, but it is what it is. I've tried joining a few offline irl interest groups and that is doing something but it just isn't the same

[tabaqui]

Since you're here on Dreamwidth, there are several very active communities that you might find something in to make you feel more a part of everything....

https://recthething.dreamwidth.org/
https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/
https://snowflake-challenge.dreamwidth.org/
https://fan-flashworks.dreamwidth.org/
https://fancake.dreamwidth.org/

Just a few that post daily or almost daily, and might be a good place to start. Good luck, OP! There is still community out here; it's changed, of course, but it's alive and kicking (just like us).

[(Anonymous)]

RecTheThing looks just about ideal to me, and I hadn't come across it. I'm so glad you suggested these to the OP!

[tabaqui]

Yay!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry for all of your losses, nonny.

[paperghost]

I relate to feeling lost community-wise. It always depends on what site you're using and/or fandom, but... Reaching out and keeping up with people is always the key. Which I kind of struggle with too.

[sabotabby]

I'm sorry for all your losses, OP. I hope you can find somewhere good and supportive that makes your heart happy.

[(Anonymous)]

If you are the "I'm just blunt" anon, then you should very much stop interacting with fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

What makes you think they are?

[epicurean]

Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry for your loss, OP. I can't even imagine the grief and sadness you're going through.

If you're interested but I've been hanging out on Reddit (yes, I know) and it has a surprisingly active fandom communities. Just recently joined the Xena reddit. There's also communities for dealing with loss and grief, if you feel like joining. I know reddit has a bad rep about being bad, but it's not so bad as long as you don't look at the front page. As a nonamerican I just avoid it like the plague. Just sticking to your homepage and to the things you know is fine.

AO3 also has a fandom, of course. Being The Place to dump your fic.

I genuinely hope you find solace in whatever activities you decide to engage on, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Hugs, anon. I'm so sorry for what you've been going through. I hope you find the community you're searching for.

[sparklywalls]

I’m very sorry for your losses anon, that’s certainly a lot. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Fwiw I was a terminal lurking for a good decade and last year something just snapped in me and now I’ve found a couple of niches on tumblr and am in an couple of active/lovely Discord servers. But I think it really does depend on the fandom. A lot are still clinging on to Twitter but I’m done with that place.
