You're right about 500px, but it's also really hard to get noticed there because the community is already formed or, at least, that's the impression I got from submitting there. Maybe I'm wrong...
Well, it really depends on what you want from such a community. For example, I'm only an amateur photographer and I don't have very high aspirations, so I'm glad for the couple of comments I get for a photo.

You're probably right and I believe it depends aswell on the genre of photography that one works with
After a not-so-thorough review of various sites, I've opened a flickr account and started uploading my snapshots there. It's probably the easiest to use for general stuff like that, and the uploader is super fast. I don't like the white flickr background though, and two clicks to get to the gray "lightroom" is too much.
