For me, it’s a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

    I’ll co-sign all of that! Niche stuff is why I was on Reddit.

    Fitness for FTM guys, my city’s local page, subs for my dogs’ specific breeds, Jewish cooking. The communities that grew organically in n niche spots brought me a lot of joy.

    Also hey! Kayaking! If you know of a Lemmy community for it, I’m game! Always nice to run into other paddlers.
