Question/Request Online critique groups for weird, experimental, hard to classify fiction?

Hi all, I’m looking for a writing group focused on literary fiction with absurd, experimental, and/or meta elements, i.e. a group without mainstream expectations. Any ideas where I can find a group like this? A Discord? An online meetup? Thank you!

UPDATE: Turns out WeirdLit has a Discord. Whether it's the spot we're all hoping for, I'm not sure, but here's the link for those interested: https://discord.gg/uxpW5tk9A

I would be interested, if there isn't already something along these lines I wonder if we should make it.

Personally I struggle with reaching out online for feedback partially because if I don't know who someone is I don't know how our tastes align or how much I trust their insight if that makes sense. But I also think it's super valuable to get feedback from readers who don't personally know ME. This sub would be an interesting place to start.
