Awesome Tech Communities

This is a list of tech communities, on Slack, Discord, Meetup, or elsewhere.

Please feel free to submit a Pull Request (or an Issue) to add a new community, information about an existing community, or to indicate a community becoming active or inactive.

Many of these communities were found on other lists but are apparently inaccessible or inactive. However, any of them may still be present or active in places or ways I am unaware of, or able to be brought back, so I am still presenting the information I've found.

  • Figure out what's going in with the ?????? communities
  • Check out non-regional communities
  • Figure out a better way to organize this list
  • Look into the Tech Alliance of SWFL for Florida
  • Look into louisville.io for Kentucky (Slack links)
