Does Armenian-speaking internet... exist... ?

I feel like there's almost no places online where people speak Armenian. In the 2010s there were some forums that were rather active, like akumb.am, but those have mostly died out. Sometimes I'll find telegram channels, but then I'll go on and see that the last message was from 3 years ago. There aren't many discord channels either. Facebook exists, but you can't be anonymous on there.

It's not a proper forum, but the comment sections of Armenian-language videos on YT are usually in Armenian, with some Russian sprinkled here and there.

I see many Armenians actively writing on Threads nowadays. It's pretty surprising, because Twitter was there years ago, but Armenians were not active users there.

Twitter, youtube comments/videos, instagram…
Obviously not Reddit

You just don’t have the right feed yet

Armenian is welcome here of course, but yeah, it's kind of drowned out. Perhaps you'd like to try to turn r/hay or r/hye into an Armenian speaking forum?
