Are there any communities specifically for HTML5/browser-based game devs?

I just recently decided to put some more effort into the HTML5 market, I got my most recent game on one of the old flash game sites, which is not all HTML5/webgl games.

My last post had a lot of you telling me that browser based games are not dead, there can be good money in them, etc, etc. So it sounds like people are still developing for this platform, which makes me think, there has got to be a subreddit, a forum website, a discord server, something right?

Yesterday I finished up my first actual "game". I had released many prototypes before, but I was finally able to finish a project, planned out a demo, have multiple ports of the game (PC, Mac, Linux). Everything has been tested and refined as much as I could manage...

Luna: Starfall, is an incremental game that tries to empower players by giving them a bit of lore and worldbuilding to keep them invested in the world of the game, instead of just watching numbers get larger on a screen, players can expect to watch numbers get larger on a screen while completing story missions, reading a lore codex, earning/losing cash in a randomized battle system, etc.

The one area of the game I think I really did not find enough playtesters for is game pacing/progression/pricing of resource/troop units, so if you guys have any thoughts related to those aspects of the game I would love to hear them and potentially implement some of your thoughts/advice into the next update, and ofcourse if you come across bugs, or have other suggestions I would love to hear them as well!

The free demo version is available in browser here (sorry mobile phone gamers, it is probably not going to load correctly, but it is technically playable on mobile), with the full version available for one dollar (the only difference between the demo and full version are saving/loading is disabled in the demo). Thank you all for reading this and feel free to check out the project here! https://frontlinestudios.itch.io/luna-starfall

Is it worth putting time into an HTML5 version of games I work on, and posting them to HTML5 game sites? It's been a while since I was playing HTML5 games, what are the good sites to upload games on nowadays?

How do we monetize HTML5 games? Do most websites offer a rev share from ad revenue? Pay per click? Do I need to set up my own ads in game?

Just trying to figure out how I can maximize reach and potential revenue on projects I am working on.
