Been scrolling through different Discord servers and Telegram groups lately, and it's wild how fragmented things have gotten. Some communities are absolutely buzzing—constant activity, genuine discussions, developers actually shipping updates. Others? Dead quiet despite huge market caps.
I'm curious what you all are seeing on the ground. Which ecosystem's community actually feels the most organic and engaged right now? Are we talking about the major L1 networks, DeFi protocols, or some of the smaller emergent projects that are punching above their weight?
Maybe it's not just about member count either. Real strength seems to be in governance participation, how fast proposals get discussed, whether devs actually listen to feedback. Some projects have millions of followers but zero real conversations happening.
What's your take? Where's the energy actually flowing in Web3 communities these days?

I was just saying, small coin communities tend to be more resilient, while big projects' Discord servers have long become places for marketing accounts to gather, really no one discusses technology anymore.

Oh, that's not right. I've been in those project groups with millions of followers, and they're really zombie cities. A single message can stay buried for days.

Honestly, the most active ones are those small projects. Big coin Discords have become retirement homes.

Really, the groups of those big projects are sometimes just zombie channels, with member numbers looking ridiculously impressive.

Haha, I really relate to this phenomenon. Small projects with a few thousand daily active users have communities that are much more lively than those of big coins with millions of followers.

Really, the Discord servers of major cryptocurrencies have long become chat rooms, while the smaller projects are the ones getting upset.

Honestly, small tokens are more interesting; the entire ecosystem is just full of zombie fans.
