I'm not sure if these are what you have looking for:

-Bitcointalk Forum
(Service Section)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0
(Project Development)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=12.0
-Reddit
-Facebook (via joining local groups related to your skills or just advertise it on various groups at any subject or genre)
-Twitter
-General community forums, big or small (via looking on your favorite search engine)

Yes, way back then, posting in general forums is one of the effective ways to spread your service but with the growing social media, you can target more audiences using them. As for the results, maybe it's not that online communities are dead based on your own view but rather you now need to look for a work by yourself rather than expect clients to come for you.

I believe people are so much money-minded nowadays that the place where they can't even make a few cents, they won't even visit that place regularly or frequently. Still, if you want some general discussions, then please visit:
Politics & Society
Serious Discussion

And you can talk "generally" with your community in local section of the forum.

Not even bitcointalk is showing on search engines anymore ... it shows only if you search specific keywords

I just googled "Bitcoin forum" and that's what Bitcointalk is all about, so what other keywords do you expect to give you results of this forum?



And if you want to find general community forums like "Orkut" if you remember it, I believe they've gone away in the space which is the main reason you're not satisfied with the way how search engines are presenting results to their audience.

30% results i get for forums i get  "Account Suspended..."

I think Covid is killing the internet also ... as people don't have money anymore ...

I don't think that the online communities are dead, in fact this year as the highest number of people online in the world basically brought by the pandemic.
But I think you are just lacking of something, like in-platforms searches, google just have this prime answers. I think you should dive deeper.

I'm thinking of the opposite, Covid wakes up the internet having more people engagements than ever. People has money, not just for your services, company cutting off their employees expect a lesser job needs these days even remote jobs.

That's what I said - general discussion forums generally don't get enough advertisements so to sponsor their domain and hosting as well as continue their services as they do not engage people in any money making activities and so, their audience don't visit them regularly, seeing which, even advertisers don't go there to advertise and that's why those forums which have anything that keeps people engaged will have more exposure for advertisers and so, advertisers will do anything to keep that service go on (for e.g.; signature campaigns and bounties on Bitcointalk, some cents per post at cryptotalk as well as mt5 forums).

You should advertise them to those communities that needs then and not just to any random community.  This part of forum is definitively not meant for such questions.

What kind of payment method will you accept, if it is BTC and cryptocurrencies, there are few places that you can start to advertise because many people still do not know about cryptos, especially through this forum. So your chances will be better by using Twitter or Reddit.

There are people who specialize in marketing, so ask them and you will find your way.

I don't think online communities are dead yet, thy just vary a lot based on the services you are offering. In terms of internet related things I find that reddit is as active as usual. A lot of people are still on that website. If you are offering other services I would recommend Ebay. There still tons of people selling things via Ebay.

On the contrary, I think the online community is thriving these days especially due to the pandemic. Small businesses have sprouted since then, you can see it everywhere especially on facebook and instagram. This is advantageous for the business owners since there's no need to pay for overhead (except for those who opt to fund for boosting). I think instagram and facebook would be great for you to advertise your services since they're pretty much inclined to showcasing these kind of ads but it really depends on your market/target audience. This forum is also a good place for you to advertise those kinds of services as well. Keep in mind though that the competition might be tough.

This forum is not dead you are just  the one that don't make your thread professionally, that members can see your work and hired you . make your own portfolio so they can hired you base on your skills and past experience .bump your thread  every other day  so its always on top ,and build your reputation here so other member can also suggest you to people that looking the skills you are offering .

The answer to your question is certainly no, especially at a time when people are increasingly forced to be online, either for work or for fun. But you need to know that people's habits are changing and that things are not the same as they were 10 years ago - today people spend more time on FB, Twitter, Telegram, Viber and similar social networks.

You actually want free advertising which used to be really effective through various forums (I remember someone offering such a service on dozens of forums), but if you want to advertise successfully then you will have to pay for it. Honestly, this is the only way you can reach new customers, and if you have a good product you will make a profit.

I think its not dead, the problem is that there are so many competitions since everyone is working from home, so it's tough, unless you offer something unique then people won't find your services that attractive.

Covid-19 didn't kill the internet, on the contrary it makes it an avenue, although it's double edge sword, criminals  are taking advantage, since everyone is at home working, they started campaigns to target potential victims with Covid-19 themes. on the flipside, people staying home and doing online, entrepreneur find ways to make money, specially food delivery services.

The internet has become very weird

Interested to know why you think so.


Have you tried advertising on Facebook groups? There should be lots free Marketplaces in form of Groups to sell things on the social media. There could be groups specifically for the type of products/services you want to sell. I don't know how the groups work these days though. Been long I advertised things for sale on a Facebook group.

But I think, more people are now spending their time online because most of us are staying at our homes so it becomes one of the major ways to communicate with others. Sellers are shifting online because of the pandemic so the online communities are not dead in fact, I find them more active nowadays.

And you can find platforms to advertise your service depending on your target customers or clients. If you are looking for crypto-related, then this forum is already a good place to offer your service. You can also use popular social media if you want more general clients because a lot of people are now on their social media.

A friend of mine is a designer, and he finds that the best conversion rate is from IG.

Here is what he's doing:

1. He has an IG with posts about different design stuff + portfolio.
2. DM different business through IG about design services
3. DM different business through FB about design services

IG responses and conversions are nearly 200% higher than FBs.
