For me, it’s a few things.
-
A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush.
-
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
-
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.
music discovery/discussion. I found so much cool music on reddit communities for bands or genres I like
resources for learning about & discussing some of my hobbies and interests like FOSS software, Linux, gaming, guitar etc
communities for people local to the city/state I live in
