Anyone know any forums where you can be sure you're talking to humans and feel like you're in a close knit community?

I am not talking about reddit subs, maybe something more niche, even for hobbies outside computing.

The only place where I felt in company of real humans is a couple of niche IRC channels, where someone without fail always asks me how my day is going whenever I join, I am looking for places like that.

I was gonna try and answer you, but I had the thought that you this could very well be a honeypotting bot trying to find untainted human-human exchanges, because scrapping and training on bot comments would be unproductive...

I dislike that that's my reasoning.

I would look for local( like in your state/city instead of global) or small userbases (so it's unlikely most are bots).
