This is not a comprehensive list by any means, and is why I’m featuring this post and leaving it open to comments. I may update this as people make suggestions, and I encourage others to make their own variations on this list in the comments or in their respective versions of this community.

Also to clarify some terms here, by active I’m aiming for at least some commenting on recent-ish posts, not merely recent posts, and by the topic names…I’ll let the linked communities serve as examples.
