This doesn't scratch the surface and may also not perfectly capture every type of rp community or setting- but ive been roleplaying since I was in middle school, so I stand by the majority of what I linked here.
Its up to you if you want to get in big open communities or if you want to be self indulgent with a friend- most of these are about wider communities so the point still stands,
Remember that Roleplay is Collaborative Story Telling and it has to be fun for everyone, because otherwise its fun for no one.
