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.

Cats and news

When I first migrated from Digg I was astounded by how in a thread on some obscure topic you would find super informed nerds and enthusiasts who could wax poetic on the topic at hand. I learned so much! As the internet matured, and Reddit as well, those interactions seemed to become more rare and argument began to drive the conversation. Statements would be made and a slew of randos would plunge the depths of the interwebz to contradict, one up, or expand on that statement. I have to admit I learned a lot from this as well and did my fair share of educating myself and others. I was hoping to find that impassioned community of yesteryear where the topics were the inspiration, not the karma farming and argument. My experience to this point is that that is happening here because many of us have migrated and need/want to build these communities to the ideals asked about in this post! I am excited about the federated platform and the FOSS mentality and think it will draw those people I mentioned formerly.

Hoping a few people into yugioh make the jump. They had their faults, but the yugioh subs were a good place to talk about the game and get news.

I've set up a community on here - please feel free to stop by and check it out!

I absolutely loved being interested in a new hobby, game, or activity, and searching for that activities subreddit and reading the stickies and top posts of all time. It's like viewing an entire community from a window and you pick up on things like their internal humor and group-personality traits. You also can learn so much on how to approach or even respect said activity as a novice. So much free, enthusiastic information!

Things to look at when im bored. I am wondering I should post things that I see on reddit and like back to lemmy or if lemmy content should be lemmy content.

All of these, pretty much like the pre-2015 Reddit.
