Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

I’m looking for a study group for a specific maths textbook I’m reading

Discord math forum is too big and my queries get swamped so I don’t use it

I’d appreciate some advice on this and also how to develop my federated use of the internet

    Cheers I’ll check it out and revert back

    Edit: does an app like lemmy have the foundation to host something like a “specific math textbook forum” where subsections are dedicated to individual textbooks?

    Not right now, unfortunately. But it looks like tags like on Reddit are planned in the future. Right now I'd just create a post with the specific question. There are helpful people, for sure. :)

    On one hand I want to foster discussion so I don’t mind older posts being buried.

    However it would be good to have the space organised by text books perhaps, but this may eventually get stale

    I was thinking tags would be useful but i don’t know effective it would be to have #ArbitraryBook #ChapterOne #Question13 as tags to search for? Would it even work?

    No perfect solution for this currently, unfortunately.

    But let the information flow. Create a post and look for feedback if people would be interested in a specific community on the topic of the textbook. There are a lot of scientists here, so there is surely a space for your topic.
