I would argue Dribbble is a much better and thriving community because it's about people actually making things. UX researchers and product people tend to throw a ton of shade at it, but in order to post you gotta throw up a shot.
Not so with other aspects of design. So generally the discussion tracts towards a bunch of arguing product designers or self promotion. None of which are that compelling.
The solution, of course, is to post useful or interesting professional topics and share articles that are legit interesting but no one does that. So here we are.
The other "DESIGN NEWS" reddit died a stillbirth for this reason too.
