Long time musician here!

Back in Reddit days I did prawl through music-making related communities, but found that discussion tended to stick to pretty trivial spheres. Figured that general music maker communities don’t work. You want jazz drumming / pure data / microtonal techniques level specialised communities to keep it interesting. Otherwise it’s just ‘recommend a beginner-friendly daw’ over and over.

I’ve subbed Pitchfork’s album reviews RSS. They tend to namedrop influences and contemporaries and that’s what’s keeping this 46 year old picking up 2025 albums (bit proud of the fact) :D
