      @zachleat there's a really long running German HTML community too that I've totally forgotten the name of 🤔

   @zachleat Refresh DC has been around since 2006, though largely dormant since the pandemic. I founded the group, but stepped back in ~2019.

   They’re working on getting some meetups back on the calendar.

    @zachleat The @fronteers Slack conmunity is my favourite. Its audience primarily speaks Dutch, though, so I don’t know if it’s useful for you or your list!

    @zachleat I’m surprised to see that no one mentioned the WordPress community yet. That’s a shame, because it is not only huge, obviously, but also very welcoming and diverse. Pinging @remkus for a confirmation.

       @zachleat I mean, yes, it is related to a CMS, but goes way beyond that.

       As for unattached communities, I second @timsev suggestion about @fronteers. This is a collective that raised the bar for conferences and for web standards.

    2. Remkus de Vries 18 hr later

       @paul @zachleat absolutely, yes! What kind of web development communities are you looking for Zach? I'm asking because our community is so big that we have many groups focusing on particular tools and such!

          @remkus @paul I wouldn’t turn away any mentions but my original question was looking for communities that are independent of a single-tool!

             @zachleat sorry, I overread that part in first instance.
