If you’ve ditched Facebook you may want to try interest-based Reddit, the ninth-most visited website in the world
If I have to choose between following a user profile versus an interest group/topic, I always go for the latter as it is usually more relevant and interesting. It is true too that so many search results often include links to Reddit subreddits (the groups) in their results. About half the time I find solutions to what I’m searching for on Reddit. If you are on iOS be sure to also consider the 3rd party app called Apollo, or for Android maybe Boost for Reddit.
Reddit is a U.S.-based website and mobile app that allows users to discuss, debate, argue, and communicate on a range of topics. The threading system makes it slightly akin to Twitter, although the lack of a character limit allows subjects to be thoroughly investigated to an excessive extent.
You can add almost anything to a thread. Text, links, videos, GIFs, and images can be found throughout the platform, which is organized into communities or subreddits. These pages often have rules about what you can talk about in threads and how to conduct yourself while communicating with other users.
There are open source decentralised alternatives to Reddit too, such as Lemmy. I also post daily to my own subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/GadgeteerZA/.
