I am mostly on mom-related forums these days, but pre-momhood, I really enjoyed the discussion boards on Reddit. The subreddits are like micro communities within the site, and you'll find some dedicated to very specific topics. They can be a fun escape down the rabbit hole for some geeky fun. There's one for everything - from history to science, including the deeply interesting /r/askhistorians. You'd be surprised at the depth of knowledge that users there possess!
