There are.  Try these newsgroups:
  comp.sys.amiga
  comp.sys.amiga.tech
  comp.sys.amiga.hardware
  comp.sys.amiga.games
  comp.sources.amiga
  comp.binaries.amiga

All of these together average about 150 posts a day in the summer and
some absurdly obnoxious way-out ridiculous figure of about probably 700
in one day during the rest of the year (when all the college students
are using their accounts).  I have seen upwards of 300 postings in one
day in just comp.sys.amiga. 

Here are the reasons you don't see any postings _here_:
  (1)  This newsgroups is for source code (not like what I'm posting).
  (2)  There is already comp.sources.amiga.
  (3)  Fred Fish does a wonderful job of distributing source code.

I hope this eases your heavy Amiga blues.
