LinuxForums has been going strong for decades. My account there dates to 2004.

electronic music production (hosted by elektron but discussion about other gear is accepted):

cycling:

simracing:

And a few others I visit less frequently but I won't mention because I have already leaked a lot of information :-)

I guess there are still a ton of forums that cover a wide variety of hobbies/interests.

There's a Spain equivalent forum also if you poke around

I still regularly visit TheGearPage forum for musicians (mostly guitarists), and it's still active.

There's also Hardforum for hardware related discussions, though I don't visit as often anymore.

Many others I used to visit are dead.

https://www.avsforum.com/ has been running for around 30 years. Still my go to for in depth HT discussion. Much better than reddit.
