4chan/a/?

/fa/ is something not to be taken seriously because of all the idiots lmao

Like practically any board on 4chan or any other imageboard, if you get the culture you usually get gist of what people are conveying.

There's only a few boards that really take its subject matter seriously, and even then, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

 and I don't know if I just have bad taste or they do.

I'd wager its them. You should check out the /a/ or weeb boards on other imageboards. They'll be slower than shitchan 4chan, but therefore you won't get too far behind and can probably avoid spoilers. I recommend lainchan, sushichan, 8chan, and krautchan if you speak or know German. Lewdchan is someplace you should obviously visit as well. Overchan is a good way to find a good imageboard that works for you though!

The usual chans I really use are 4chan, 8chan, sometimes lainchan and lewdchan (rip)

I think I found 4chan via a post on YTMND about the Habbo raids by /b/, although /b/ didn't really keep my attention as much as /a/ or /jp/ did.
I lurked until I heard about 8chan during that whole shitstorm period, and liked the concept. From 8's /tech/ I found my way over to Lainchan, from there I saw Sushichan.

Part of me feels like /a/'s quality has gone down overall, but that just might be my problem - imageboard culture tends to be ephemeral, at the best of times.
Sometimes it feels like I'm watching the rise and fall of an empire, except instead of watching a city born of brick, made into marble and reduced to ashes, it's just a pit full of shit being filled with more shit.
I haven't posted in a while, but I lurk occasionally. 8/a/ is closer to my pace, anyways. Just enough posts to keep things feeling like they're moving, with the occasional thread that outlives some smaller boards.

I don't go to /jp/ spinoffs as much.

I just started using Lainchan a little while ago.  It seems nice, but a bit slow.  How is Suhichan?

I think I'm starting to adopt a mentality of going to many different comunities rather than relying on one big one.  Is that how you guys do it?

It's nice to have somewhere to go when your main site is down, at the very least. I see more and more people mentioning Sushigirl recently (since it had an advertisement partnership with Lainchan, I think), so I'd wager it's growing. While I'm at it, I don't see samachan in the thread, that's another small one I see named here and there.
I'll leave this here too:
If you want, go to Sushichan's IRC and ask for Creamy's updated google doc, the one I linked is horribly outdated, and I guess I forgot to bookmark the doc.
Just about every board you could ever want (and many you really don't want) is on there.

One caveat, though - if you think Lainchan's slow, most of these niche, hole in the wall boards are going to look comatose to you.

I like to think of them as cozy, out of the way pubs you can hang out and relax with the regulars in, long as you're willing to get a feel for the atmosphere first.

Yeah, I've seen some anonymous boards that only get two or three posts a day and have some threads in their catalogs from 4 years ago.  Those communities move so slow I don't see why I should contribute to them.  I could keep a tab open for days and not get replies.  I guess I've been spoiled by how fast a community 4chan is, but damn, I just can't "connect" with the 4chan community anymore, it's terrible over there.

It's certainly quite an adjustment to make, but it's not without it's perks - while there's still shitfunposting, there's a lot less of it. When that big group went over to 8chan, the catalog of every board was "why is it so SLOW" for the first week or so, until people adjusted.
