I've been looking into PASHPost, which is a social media site specifically geared toward "enthusiasts".

Signing up/Logging In
You can sign in with your Google account without having to create a new one. That's a REEEEEEALY convenient feature to have, right off the bat.

When you create an account, you pick at least 3 interests (not hard for me, I've got a lot!). One of them is "Board Games and RPGs". That's HUGE because most sites just throw everything under "games" (which is a separate interest, mainly video games on PP).

Features: Commenting, Liking Posts, etc.
And the features line up with Google+ nicely. From what I can tell, it functions the same as G+. You can post comments and "like" the comments of others. You can also edit and delete comments and write comments with minimal coding (using asterisks makes italics, etc.).

Not sure if you can create categories in your own stream to post to. But I have an email in to the developers on that.

Oh, and they actually RESPOND! I received a response to a different query in a few hours. Google NEVER responded to anything I sent. Best hope was to root around in the G+ Community and hope someone else knew how to troubleshoot my issue.

Communities on PP are called "groups". And you can create sub-categories for discussion (they call their's "topics").

Other cool stuff
The site also lets you publish "magazines" which is essentially like a mega-post with different formats to choose from for including images. Sorta like the image posting features in Tumblr, which is pretty cool.

Here's a list of the main features:
Groups - communities the member belongs to - similar to Google+
Posts - 3-click text, photo & video uploads – similar to Instagram, Google+
Marketplace - all items the member is selling - similar to Craigslist
Discussion - featuring all discussion the member has contributed to - similar to Reddit
Video - for sharing video content they produce - similar to YouTube
Online Publishing – guided story-telling tool designed to create visually & editorially engaging articles

Verdict? So far, I'm liking this a LOT more than WeMe and other alternatives. It's much more intuitive since it apes G+, but it also adds a lot more.

h/t to Robert Jacobs and the nudge to check this network out. So far it's looking like a winner!
