About the same for a lot of things though I think the game ones have been better. But I only use FB groups for two games. Both diverse players and non competitive games. No man's sky and animal crossing.
But generally people are friendly. And the communities are pretty active. Unless it's an old game or something not relevant anymore.
I use FB groups for stained glass hobby and 3d printing and had pretty good luck with both. Except I joined a women's 3d printing group and had some b.s drama and I left. But other 3d groups have been fine. Usually people asking for help.
*The women's group seemed like a rare occurrence. Basically they said my posts looked like I was promoting myself because they looked polished. I said. Yeah I have photography as a hobby. And a long lifetime of art hobbies so yeah my stuff is going to present well. But I'm not selling anything. I don't have a patreon. Etsy. All of my models I make free and accessible to anyone. I Just like my stuff to look nice because I know how to make it look nice. Not going to downgrade it because you think it's flashy or makes newbies feel bad. I am happy to give pointers on photographing models or the software I use or anything else. I'm not here to brag but just share with other people who I think will appreciate what I have.
I really tried to work with them. So they changed the rules banning posting completed projects or models. And told me it was cause of me. And said in their post about the change that an "unamed community member" was the cause.
I didn't even see the post. But the mod sent it to me. Just to make sure I knew I was the trouble maker.*
Idk who those awful women mods were. I got nothing nice to say. I answered troubleshooting questions all the time and helped people. Even made short videos showing people how to fix things.
I just instead help people in other 3d groups now. A lot of people join more than one anyway.
That's the tea on them. Don't join the women's and girls 3d printing FB group.
Anyway.
It's gonna be like reddit subs where it depends a lot on the mods. And your personal experience with said mods.
But unlike reddit, if you don't like a 3d printing sub you are out of luck. There was only a general one and the ones for specific brands. , but on fb there are 50 others. So you can find alternatives.
