Ugh, yes! I'm really into, running, for example. I go to Reddit running subreddit, and it's all just "I completed a 5k and lost 50lbs" or "I'm just getting started, here's a picture of me I'm so proud." Great, but not anyone who regularly runs it's a drag and annoying. Would love some more advanced topics with people like me who run 60+ miles a week, and are objectively a bit fast.

Have you tried just starting threads on what interests you? Just start talking, the people you are interested in might pop up, and a group might eventually self-select.

I've actually never been on reddit, but that's how it has worked in pretty much every online community - including the rKids group from this article.

Have you checked out advancedrunning or artc subreddits? Might be what you're looking for.
