r/olkb is a subreddit with 67k members. The community frequently discusses keyboard, qmk, looking for, firmware, and split, and they frequently recommend/review microcontrollers, and the most common flair used is build pics, help - unsolved, discussion, and help - solved.
Hardware and software maker community based around ortholinear or ergonomic keyboards and QMK firmware.
This started as a help & update subreddit for Jack Humbert's company, OLKB (originally Ortholinear Keyboards), but quickly turned into a larger maker community that is DIY in nature, exploring what's possible with hardware, software, and firmware.
