That would be nice.

Agreed.

This is a little more hit-or-miss. Some communities and individual blogs are great. Others not so much. I've heard a lot of folks who ran into jerks, and it can be especially challenging when trying to create a new community. You get what you tolerate; Dreamwidth has great moderation and privacy tools, but they only help if used. So I'm very appreciative of moderators who create congenial places for folks to congregate.

Fandom is actually the most active category I've found here. For active communities, see:
Follow Friday: Fandom A-I
Follow Friday: Fandom J-Z
