How can i comprehend present-day (metamodern?) culture?
What should i read (in some academic way)?
Or what sites (4chan?) should check?
you cannot fully comprehend something just by reading about it. get involved and make your own experiences

I want to understand how new is born (in nowdays and in all hystory). Culture is a big system, philosophy, process; it has logic - and i want to understand this logic. I want to speak with other on this language.
Shit, some stuff like marxism make me crazy about fundamental process of humanbean.

Go to /lit/ and "start with the greeks" as they put it. Philosophy and religion are great for understanding past mindsets, and then once you get up to modernism, abandon all hope and dive into everything post-modern and post-post-modern and meta-modern. As long as you fully understand what lead to modernism, post-modernism will be easy to understand

This is a good way, thanks! But where can I find information about current trends? What art community is the most progressive?
Books are written after the development.
In any case, Iam are open for additional recommendations.

I'm not sure art communities are as closed and easily identifiable as they were with the classic movements, but many museums which have contemporary art exhibits have sections dedicated to metamodernist art.
Currently (the point can be argued, of course) there isn't so much "progress" as there is "exploration" because postmodernism is a pit (some might say cesspool) that can contain a near endless amount of different art types, both skilled and unskilled, beautifully complex and idiotically simple.
tl;dr I'm not sure there is a community that is the most progressive right now, especially because there aren't really "leaders" or "visionaries" to these movements, they're more just short-lived trends without lasting change. If you're interested in them, I'd suggest visiting a few exhibits and listening to any lectures you can stumble upon.

Wow, that point is put limits on.
But i thought that metamodern exactly about what-is-gonna-be-after-postmodernism-pit, thats not correctly?

Metamodernism is sort of a revitalization of romanticism. Philosophically, it shares a lot with what people used to call New Sincerity. People are fed-up with the despair and intentionally ironic stories of post-modernism and want something sincere. Something that's solid and enjoyable, without the backhandedness of it all.
Speaking of New Sincerity, I'd also recommend reading some of David Foster Wallace's essays and articles. His (very) long work, Infinite Jest, is a tome that contains many examples of post-modern and metamodern ideas, though it can be a slog because of it's writing style and length.
