Blogs
Blogs re-created the way people shared their thoughts with the world over the Internet. They became the first literary revolution of the 21st century (or so I believe), and fractal enthusiasts didn’t miss the chance to contribute their own. While they are far from active now, here is a short list of some good ones that are still available, though no longer updated.
- Orbit Trap
- Fractal Nation: The fractal art blog
- Syntopia: Generative art, 3D fractals, creative computing
- Softology’s Blog: Fractals, chaos, theory, science, space, etc.
- Blog with a View
- Art from Pushing Buttons
Forums
Public forums to discuss fractal-related topics and critic pictures. Mostly inactive as well, but they see a post from time to time.
Other networks
Some of these subreddits may be dormant, but the first one on the list is active.
- r/fractals
- r/FractalPorn
- r/fractal
- r/Apophysis
- r/generative
- r/FractalArt (mostly dead)
Deviant Art
Deviant Art was one of the first online communities to bring the digital arts together. Fractal art joined in quickly, so there are several groups within the network. Some of them may be dormant; most showcase pictures, others focus on specific fractal generators, while a few provide links to resources.
