Where do you find your arts and culture news? (lemmy.one)

Maybe a niche question but I’m looking for a community focused on arts and culture around the world rather than sharing your own work.

I can easily find it somewhere like The Guardian, but I was hoping there was something in the fediverse or forum based for discourse.

Any ideas?

Oh my gosh, I'm getting flashbacks that bloody "wut" pear in The Pit! :) Me too, I miss that place being the biggest part of the internet to me, simpler and much more musical times! :)

THE GODDAMN PEAR! I saw people get banned over it lmao. Yeah, good times back then. Being online was a lot less bullshit.

Oh wow, I'm glad it wasn't just a fever dream! Nobody I know was witness to it, so my friends look at me blankly if the pear ever comes up! :) People speedrunning getting banned from the pit via lolwut was always funny. 😂

It truly was, just a bunch of people with a common interest being mostly pretty cool to each other... Damn that was a good forum. :) This is the nearest thing I've seen to the vibe of it, but still not with all the comedy and characters (yet!)
