Can’t say for posts or communities, but weirdly Fredrich Nietzsche, on the whole one of the more messed up celebrities of western philosophy has been oddly uplifting to learn about. Most people know him for influencing Ww2 era dictators, famously Hitler and Stalin, but frankly I haven’t looked into that side of things. From what I’ve seen and read he talks a lot about the suffering people feel, and how to break it. Like OP said, or rather Siddhartha, since not owning property was voluntary, he doesn’t suffer from not having any.
Ultimately, suffering is only suffering when you let it bother you. Time can rot you like fruit, but if you don’t suffer it will age you like fine wine.
