There’s also a r/bogleheads subreddit which cracks me up because there is literally nothing to talk about. Just the same three questions ad nauseum.

For the uninitiated bogleheads are followers of the passive investment philosophy of John Bogle (founder of Vanguard) which in short is:

1. Set a standing order from your paycheck to your broker every month

2. Set an automatic buy of a total market ETF and a bond ETF on your broker

3. rebalance once or twice a year

I'm not sure about the subreddit, but from my reading of the forum, there is still quite a lot of work / discussion to be done related to implementing said strategy in a tax efficient manner, directly purchasing bonds rather than using the ETFs, usage of TIPS, alternative asset classes like real estate, and portfolio allocation given age, etc.

I've learned that maintaining even the simplest "strategy" can be a lot of work.

> Just the same three questions ad nauseum

A lot of Reddit seems like that.

It is unfortunate that the design encourages new posts on existing topics, compared to forums where bumping brings a state topic to fresh.

Maybe the answer is for each link or topic or submission to have multiple comment pages, and make it significantly more likely for people to find themselves back in old conversations. The way reddit locks discussion after a time frame makes this all but impossible though.

It's also karma-farming. Go find a popular post and re-post it for easy internet points.

The portfolio reviews are fun though

Nice! Thank you.

curating the right follows on Twitter (FinTwit) is the closest thing you will find. You could follow people like @CliffordAsness (a well known and outspoken quant) and just choose some of his follows. The toughest part is disentangling the good accounts from the promoters. valueinvestorsclub.com is great. If you get Bloomberg, there are industry/interest specific anonymous chats that are useful as well.
