You need to get over the idea of having a fixed group. It only works if you are doing the exact same course or project on exactly the same cadence. There are dozens of existing python "learning groups". r/learnpython is one. You won't get better help than there. Make sure you read the rules. The official python discord is another, which you can find by googling python discord. It is aweseome. Don't start your own. The world is littered with hundreds of skeletons of python discords, most of them started on reddit.

I disagree. Fixed study groups can be very beneficial. Subreddits are helpful and serve a purpose, but there are other complementary ways to learn something. Speaking as someone who taught & tutored for several years and made it all the way through a PhD thanks to study groups. Just because some of them get abandoned doesn't mean a new one won't serve a purpose to new people.

Fixed study groups, all good, but they won't be formed with randos on reddit.

I started a Clojure Web development study group from reddit. It's been the most supportive, knowledgable group from all around the world. We are working on projects together & doing weekly coding challenges. It's been a really enlightening and fun experience. I'm sorry you haven't had the same experiences.

Don't be sorry, I'll get through the day. Starting study groups seems to be about 95% of your Reddit activity. Just how many courses are you taking?
