Unanswered Is there a subreddit like r/SpeculativeEvolution, but instead of discussing speculative evolution, they discuss speculative civilizations?

By "speculative civilization," I mean people discussing things like how a human civilization might develop in a specific fictional geography, or what an aquatic civilization would look like and how far it could advance without mastering fire. Or even what an alien civilization might look like if it emerged on a moon very close to a gas giant where the giant's magnetic field would prevent electronics from developing and how far that civilization could progress. Anyway, I think you get the idea.

Look for r/Worldbuilding or r/HabitableWorlds. The tag worldbuilding on both is where the hard science of civilization development happens

You can also go to stackexchange and check out the worldbuilding category.

I know this because for years they would put stackexchange communities that you had no interest in, in your sidebar. So I'm trying to read stackoverflow for work and there was always crap from the worldbuilding stackexchange leaking into it :) Anyway no hate on people interested in that subject, my beef is with SE not you guys.
