Pornhub. Don't ask me about my hobbies.

Oscar winning story writing?

Hackaday has been a great place as a starting point for a wide variety of hobbies. And for seeing what fun things people put together

Lichess.org is a great place to play chess, or to study it. Free, open source, run by a great team. Highly recommend.

Yeah I find it's metrics on other games so helpful when studying a line.

The problem with "what to buy to get started" is that that question is tantalizingly juicy to advertisers. Therefore, when a place is found it is usually captured by low quality high dollar cost advertisers (like reddit or amazon or essentially all the other sites that carry and recommend hobbiest products).

I think your best bet is to get to know a few people who actually are doing the hobby (not a advertising influencer) and see the cost points for real hobbiests.

Isn't this the point of the OP, to get info from a few people who actually are doing the hobby?

[-] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 months ago

He asked for a generalist site, so a site that has already been captured.

[-] Wumbologist@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I don't see this reflected in the question at all.

All being related to your hobby.

The way I read it, this last line suggests the opposite. OP wants people to recommend resources specific to their own hobbies.

p5js.org. It is a beginner-friendly website for creating stuff in JavaScript straight into a browser. They also have resources and tutorials. After trying to learn coding for a long time, this is the place where it finally clicked for me.

Coding train on YouTube is quite fond of p5js and has some awesome videos on building things in that.

[-] late_night@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Ooh nice, I will definitely look into that

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

codewars.com is great if you're into coding puzzles. It has them in just about every language imagineable. I'm amazed it's not more well-known cos it's a great site.

Kind of a hobby

XDA has everything regarding modding android software: guides, discussions, projects you can download, etc

[-] DokPsy@infosec.pub 5 points 11 months ago

Except for almost every device I want to put custom firmware on, apparently.

[-] David_Eight@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Garage Journal for people who love tools and anything mechanical.

Lemmy seems to be a good place to start. ;)

I usually use ddg to search for sites, lurk there for a while to see what the questions and answers are and after a while either ask a question myself, when I like the site and haven't seen the questlon with appropiate answer in search results. That is, when I'm not member of a RL club and they have meetings/a site I can find the answer.

This website is helpful for finding anime to watch. It has a robust tag and recommendations system. If you don't know where to start I picked a favourite of mine.

https://anilist.co/anime/849/Suzumiya-Haruhi-no-Yuuutsu

https://jastusa.com/ is a great site to buy anime games.

https://jlist.com/ and https://www.amiami.com/eng/ are great merchandise sites.

https://www.hidive.com/ is a streaming site for anime that I find has a great selection
