Any ideas for alternative US tax forums or discussion boards similar to say Reddit Tax? Ideas?
There’s just not the critical mass of knowledgeable users for professions outside of programming on any Lemmy instance, from what I can tell.
I kept my reddit account for the lawyers subreddit and some of the others around the practice of law, because I like the community of people who are in the same career as I am. I also tried esq.social (mastodon, matrix, and Lemmy instance for lawyers), but basically only the matrix server gets anything close to a critical mass of user engagement.
I’m considering creating a new reddit account for sports discussion, too, because there just isn’t anything like the NBA subreddit.
Yes. Medical, legal, tax are things hard to find outside of reddit. Just annoying to have to go back there.
Financial seems to be broad enough that there are other choices.
There is !personalfinance@sopuli.xyz, which would be somewhat related to personal tax. There is also a Lemmy instance dedicated to finance. I don’t recall it off the top of my head but the instance joined Cloudflare so I immediately abandoned it.
For the record, lemmy.ml is a terrible place to discuss tax or personal finance. The admins of that instance treat personal finance questions as spam and even go over the heads of moderators to censor such discussion because of their political baggage. IMO sopuli.xyz might be a good place to create an account and create finance communities.
