I wonder if y’all can help me out—I’m trying to collect a list of web development communities (not related to any one specific tool or framework), can you reply with your favorites?
(if you don’t have a favorite I will also accept communities you’re familiar with 😅)

Are you thinking of selfhtml.org?

Thanks to SelfHTML I got into #WebDev back in the day:

@zachleat As someone in the New Haven, CT area, I'm rather partial to our local https://newhaven.io discord community.
Edit: I realize you said "web dev" newhaven.io is actually all kinds of dev.
I used to read Medium a lot, and I still occasionally enjoy dev.to, but the noise-signal ratio doesn't feel optimal on those platforms.
If anything it's brought me back to the "small web". I'm using RSS much more, as well as Kagi's "small web" project when I'm searching.
@zachleat Refresh DC has been around since 2006, though largely dormant since the pandemic. I founded the group, but stepped back in ~2019.
They’re working on getting some meetups back on the calendar.
@zachleat I mean, yes, it is related to a CMS, but goes way beyond that.
As for unattached communities, I second @timsev suggestion about @fronteers. This is a collective that raised the bar for conferences and for web standards.
