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 was mostly on reddit for the information I got from the niche communities I joined. Posts regarding GPU passthrough for virtual machines, the configurations people used, problem solving for those virtual machines, I loved all of it. I only lurked though, very very rarely did I even comment, on here I’m trying to be more active. I’m hoping that as communities grow, I can get the same information I got from the reddit subs I lurked on

      Your last couple of sentences resonate deeply. I was active like a decade ago. I remained active mostly in one sub, but only occasionally.

      Here, it feels like I have to do my part.
