I've been posting on message boards forever (Game FAQ, IGN, RealGM to name a few), and reddit was my next foray. I was pretty sad to hear about the API news and I saw Lemmy mentioned in one of the threads, so I decided to join.
I really like posting in my local team's subreddits, as it really does feel like a tight nit community. Especially since my teams are not that great, the ones that actually still participate are the diehards.
