This could be websites to look up guides, places to buy quality products, or what to buy to get started. All being related to your hobby.

The problem with "what to buy to get started" is that that question is tantalizingly juicy to advertisers. Therefore, when a place is found it is usually captured by low quality high dollar cost advertisers (like reddit or amazon or essentially all the other sites that carry and recommend hobbiest products).

I think your best bet is to get to know a few people who actually are doing the hobby (not a advertising influencer) and see the cost points for real hobbiests.

Isn't this the point of the OP, to get info from a few people who actually are doing the hobby?

[-] AdminWorker@lemmy.ca -1 points 11 months ago

He asked for a generalist site, so a site that has already been captured.

I don't see this reflected in the question at all.

All being related to your hobby.

The way I read it, this last line suggests the opposite. OP wants people to recommend resources specific to their own hobbies.
