r/mk is basically just people showing what they got, which is not even a bad thing, but the mechanical keyboards subreddit really should have more proper discussion.

I think a big factor is reddit and karma and upvotes, which incentivizes people to post things to get more meaningless points, which means that actual discussion is less incentivizes than drama and pics because it doesn't give as many upvotes.

That's why social media with like systems is kinda flawed for discussion. Just my 2 cents though.

I've been in the hobby long enough where seeing a new build of the keyset of the month paired with the group buy delivery of the quarter is no longer interesting. The things that I see that really interest me are
1. Custom work (Cases, PCBs, Handwired, etc) by people who are set out to make something that doesn't exist.
2. "Vintage" keyboards and keycaps before the hobby really blew up (Post-Beige, Pre RGB/Gamer where it was low run group buy aluminum keyboards with group buy keycaps like from Signature Plastic)
3. People who want to mod their keyboard or take the hobby further than "I bought the hot keycap set and the cool keyboard that everyone is talking about". (Tape mod, switch lubing/hybriding, etc)

Geekhack seems to have an older user base and people who have been in the hobby longer and likely have a collection of boards or have tested and ran different layouts/keycap profiles, etc. Because it's not just window shopping or ogling other people's keyboards or setups. It's people sharing their love of keyboards with people who want to ask questions and learn more.
