many people who have joined have related their extended stints on communities Reddit, Dig, Slashdot, or even older places like Usenet, and i'm super interested in what your best memories and favorite experiences on places like that have been in your time using them

I wish so badly that all those geocities sites hadn't just vanished off the face of the internet when geocities went down. I never got to experience them but they always sound cool when people reminisce.

it's not the same but some of the modern experience can be replicated by browsing neocities--it's a nice simulacrum of what could be, if nothing else

I'd second Neocities as the best modern equivalent to static web communities. It's not the same experience, but its kind of evolved into its own unique thing. Also, the marginalia search engine is a great tool if you're looking for other weird and wonderful personal sites around the web that Google ignores.
