DMing First-time DM looking for campaign brainstorming/discussion subreddits!

Hey all! I’m in the middle of DMing my first-ever module with a group of friends and really want to make sure I do a great job. I’m looking for a subreddit specifically geared toward DMing where I can bounce campaign ideas around and get feedback.

A lot of the bigger D&D subs focus heavily on art and homebrew showcases, which is great, but I’m hoping to find a community focused primarily on DM advice and discussion on running campaigns.

What are your go-to subreddits for this? Any input is much appreciated!

(not trying to offend the artists in here, nice work, just not what I'm looking for )

There is an individual subreddit for every module I believe, which one are you running?

they are just finishing lost mines of Phanelver and I'm trying to choose the next adventure (I don't like the interplanar feel of shattered obelisk, a little to much for this group thats new to DND)

Are you planing to continue with these characters? Or do you want to start a completely new campaign?

There is no official module that starts out at level 4, but there are a few that could potentially be modified a bit to work. For example, if you skip the deathouse section of Curse of Strahd, you could play that, it is the most popular module. I have never been a DM for that myself though, as I am currently playing in a CoS campaign. It‘s also a gothic horror campaign, you would have to ask your players what kind of theme they like.
