Here will do.
that have discussions going regarding windows 10 LTSC (and the
upcoming w11 release)? The sub for LTSC is likely going to be going dark
forever, and I don't know where else discussion for this version might
be happening.
Isn't LTSC only applicable to Win10 Enterprise edition (maybe also Education), not Home or Pro?
LTSC = Long-Term Servicing Channel
Yep, only with the Enterprise edition.
It is intended for devices that should never change functionality, like
medical devices, or embedded systems where users are not supposed to get
at the OS except for sysadmin folk, instead of user workstations that
get features updates and security fixes.

"We designed the LTSC with these types of use cases in mind, offering
the promise that we will support each LTSC release for 10 years--and
that features, and functionality will not change over the course of that 10-year lifecycle."
When LTSC support ends, the customer is expected to replace the entire pre-built or customized device rather than update its OS.
As you said, here is as good a place in Usenet to discuss the LTSC
edition; however, since many features are stripped from it, and because
very few users here use it or even heard of it, there won't be much
audience here with experience with LTSC. It's feature set is locked
(with 3-year updates), so it won't have the feature set users here would
expect when trying to help.
Not even Microsoft's Answer web-based forums have one explicitly just
for LTSC.
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows, LTSC is not
listed in the drop-down Versions list. Searching on "ltsc" there finds articles all over under the Windows category.
The OP's complete description of his non-descript problem at Reddit.com
is a "turn for the worse". Uh huh, very detailed ... not! When I went
there, and click inside their Search field (to hunt down an LTSC forum),
the page goes blank. I disabled all uBlock Origin's blocking, but the
page still went blank when I click inside its Search field. Maybe
that's the "for the worse" the OP complains about, or something else.
Could be a glitch in their scripting, like a Javascript on-click event
to where it points, but I would expect the problem to get addressed in a
day, or so. The site still exists, but some web dev fucked up there.
I would think some forum there would have a direct URL instead of having
to search for it, but I don't have that URL, and I'm not wasting time at
Reddit to drill around hunting for an LTSC group. I found no link there
to report problems with their web site, just a link to a /help/
community (another forum/group).
Since most smartphone apps are web-centric clients (you use the app
instead of a full-blown web browser), maybe the OP should see if s/he
can use their Reddit app. Maybe that web access method does not suffer
the "turn for the worse" problem. Or s/he could wait a day to see if
the whatever is the problem gets corrected.
