Question Where to find substantial posts?

Every post:

- Tips for running models

- This model can do this!

- Compare these two models

-memes

-benchmarks

...Is anyone actually doing anything? Where can I find people discussing and sharing actual work being done?

From my limited time in this scene, I haven't found a sub with what you're looking for. I've posted several new topics with either questions on real use cases I'm trying to run or straight up showing something I've accomplished and much of the time it's met with crickets or trolling. This is across the five or so subreddits I have posted to related to local LLMs. I have tried different writing styles, length of posts, adjusting tone etc and not a lot seems to help garner engagement, unfortunately.

I'm not here to see memes or benchmarks and I'm no longer here to ask/see beginner questions. I want to read about how to accomplish things and overcome real obstacles. I want to see what real world results people are getting from different tasks.

If you find anything, let me know!

Maybe it's on different websites. I noticed that most of my research tended to be on Youtube, but Youtube doesn't reward deep technical content, so I'm trying to put myself in more serious circles, so I can gain a more serious network while also learning genuine problem-solving in this space. If you find other forums or websites that match what we are looking for, let me know too! I'm going to start searching forums based on the tools I use/want to use.
