Stopmotion resources

Hate to just beg for a bunch of resources but there isn't a wiki and this sub seems more dead than I thought it would be. Any forums, websites, secret subs, youtubers etc I should absolutely know about as a beginner? The main focus I'm worried about is making my own puppet, I have a little bit of experience as a 3d animator but making the doll seems like a nightmare. No interest in clay really.
