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’d say these three

    • Sharing memes and clip highlights with the streamer communities I care about
    • Learning new things from tech specific communities
    • Troubleshooting to figure out if there’s a solution someone already derived or share my own for those who end up with the same problem

    This is how I’ve used Reddit

      I definitely used Reddit for troubleshooting and finding information. It was extremely helpful that it was indexed by search engines, I worry that instances won’t allow themselves to be indexed so the useful information will be harder to discover.
