Why is r/zigbee and r/zwave so lame?

Where do people go to talk about these standards. With all the devices out there using these protocols I would think there would be a little more interest.
I get it, this isn't super exciting stuff but the home automation industry is really taking off these days so i'd think there would be a little more conversation.

what are you looking for with the devices/protocols?
everything i read on zwave (or zigbee) is at specific home automation hub websites. i've learned a bit on specific zwave devices and setting them up through home-assistant or smartthings forums.
for devices, i just troll amazon or aeon labs to see what new devices are out there.
the other problem is mostly the non-tech crowd are drawn more to wifi devices. until the companies promote the ease of installation for zwave devices (zigbee is too picky as far as interoperability), i don't see zwave getting to be mainstream.

They just hire somebody to make it all work. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

want to move to 100% local control and zwave allows me in theory to be completely off the grid.
So nothing in your house talks to the cloud ?

I've noticed the same thing. I just set up Home Assistant in a Docker and am jumping into home automation with Z-Wave devices first. If it goes well, I may port over my pool automation system I built.
I mostly stick to r/homeautomation, r/smarthome, and r/homeassistant.
