同志们在哪儿——全球三体粉丝社区指南

Where the Comrades Are

Every Three-Body fan eventually asks: where are the others?

I asked a friend in Tokyo. "Twitter," he said. "Search #三体 in Japanese."

A fan in São Paulo: "We have a WhatsApp group. 47 people. Never met in person, but we know each other's favorite characters."

A Reddit user in Montana: "I found r/threebodyproblem two years ago. Read every post before I commented. Now I'm a moderator."

Reddit: The Global Hub

r/threebodyproblem — 18,000+ members. Someone posts a 3,000-word Dark Forest analysis at 2 PM. By 6 PM, someone else posts a Cheng Xin meme.

Everyone's welcome. American engineers, Chinese students, British professors, Brazilian high schoolers.

China: The Deep End

三体吧 (Three-Body Bar) on Baidu Tieba — hardcore fans only. Deep analysis, complete relationship maps, 50,000-word fan theories. All in Chinese.

Bilibili — fan-made animations, science analysis, "If Three-Body Were a Comedy" series.

Twitter: The Pulse

Real-time news. Fan art. Hot takes. Arguments about Cheng Xin (always arguments about Cheng Xin).

The Lonely Places

A librarian in Montana started a reading group. Four members, library basement. "We feel like QY."

An engineer in Albania was the only person in his country who'd read Chinese sci-fi — until he found us.

Red Coast Base was built for these people.

Reddit has the community. Bilibili has the videos. Twitter has the news.

Red Coast Base has something else: built by fans, for fans.
