Challenge #6: Top 10 Challenge

Here is a list of my current top ten fandom communities! These are places I enjoy either lurking or participating in.

1. Dreamwidth
   It may be old-fashioned, but it's a fandom home I trust.


2. r/FanFiction
   An active community on Reddit all about writing and reading fanfiction. I like to view it using the Redlib front end service.


3. Lemmy.world
   An instance of Lemmy, which is part of the Fediverse and an alternative site similar to Reddit. It has all kinds of communities I can enjoy as a fan, from the broad topic of gaming to a more specific fandom like Calvin and Hobbes.


4. Aethy
   An instance of a Mastodon fork that's part of the Fediverse and an alternative site similar to Twitter. It allows NSFW content, including the loli/shota/cub variety. 👀


5. Tumblr
   Lots of active fandom blogs to explore. I like to view it using Tumbex or the Priviblur front end service.


6. Discord
   There are a lot of fandom servers to get involved in. One that I really like is the 30+ Fanfic Discord server for fanfic writers who are in their 30s or older.


7. DeviantArt
   It has fanart and fandom groups galore!


8. Sonic Blast
   An old-school individual forum for Sonic the Hedgehog fans.


9. The Gamers' Tavern
   An instance of PeerTube, which is part of the Fediverse and an alternative site similar to YouTube. It focuses on gaming videos.


10. Pixiv
    Lots of fanart to look at!
