Is anyone aware of a catalogue that houses all of the various forum domains? For example, if you want to seek fashion advice, probably better to head over to StyleForum instead of /r/malefashionadvice (or HypeBeast for streetwear).

I know someone asked on here recently for investing forums and were pointed to Corner of Berkshire and Fairfax (as well as /r/securityanalysis) but that is indeed better than /r/investing or /r/wallstreetbets which are garbage.

/r/WSB is different in that it doesn’t try hiding what it is. Or pretending to be something. It’s supposed to be silly (understatement) and most things discussed are supposed to be [stupidly] high risk. You can’t compare that to most subreddits that take themselves seriously.

I think r/wallstreetbest is supposed to be garbage, but with lots of in jokes.

/r/wallstreetbets is a bunch of intelligent investors pretending to be ignorant, and a bunch of ignorant investors pretending to be knowledgeable.

I made a tidy profit off of someone's SPY options play they offered up as a post yesterday in /r/wsb, and they showed their work (proper due diligence on the why). It's not all fun and laughs in there.
