Here is our compilation of the most informative and fun DJ communities on Reddit. Those subreddits may prove themselves useful for both beginner and advanced DJs. Browsing subreddits related to your hobby seems to be a great alternative or a great supplement to engaging in traditional online forum communities. Let’s explore some fun subreddits that can help you grow and improve at any point in your DJ career!
1. r/beatmatch
r/beatmatch is one of the biggest DJ communities on Reddit alongside with r/DJs.
This subreddit has great moderation, gets lots of traffic and contains answers to many questions including the very basic ones. New questions usually get answers in a few hours from posting and there is a great FAQ for beginners (albeit a bit outdated in places) present in the main pinned post.
There is also a Weekly Mix Feedback Thread ongoing for those of you who want to share your mixes with the subreddit’s members and a “Helpful Links & Resources” section in a sticky post that contains answers to most commonly asked questions alongside with appropriate thread links.

2. r/DJs
It’s one of the oldest if not the oldest subreddit directed towards professional DJs. Here you can find tech news, workshop info, questions regarding more advanced topics and much more.
This subreddit is meant more for general discussions geared towards advanced DJing so even in the rules they redirect all beginner related questions into the above r/Beatmatch subreddit. This probably isn’t the best place for you if you’re just starting out but a great community fore more experienced DJs nevertheless.

4. r/RedditSets
This one is a bit different – this subreddit is meant for live streaming your DJ sets. You can broadcast your live performance here for people to see. Make sure both you and your equipment is visible on stream and that you’re cool with performing live.

6. r/mobileDJ
This is quite a small community meant for mobile DJs, that is DJs who travel a lot doing weddings, proms and perform at many different venues. While the community is small there is new content posted almost on daily basis and it’s quite varied too.
People from r/mobileDJ have also recently started a brand new DJ subreddit – r/DJgear for all the DJ hardware inquiries. Although it hasn’t made the list because of it’s small size right now it might also grow into an interesting community built around DJ equipment. Come check it out if you want!
