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 loved the new Reddit UI, I should not have to click images to enlarge them. Really hope Lemmy gets something similar.

God pls no. Old reddit was way better

I liked the positivity of the community for the most part. Reddit, to my mind, was the only largely non toxic form of social media and that will be hard to replace though Iโ€™m liking Lemmy so far.

I always liked getting into micro communities and hearing how they talked about their worlds. That might include life in obscure (relative to me) places around the world, getting into the weeds of various occupations Iโ€™ll never work in or learning about the fine details of hobbies Iโ€™ll never have. Real people having good faith conversations about highly specific things relevant to them.

Discussions for newly released movies is a big thing that I'll still likely go to Reddit for until it is fully established here. I prefer to read what others thought about them through sites like Reddit rather than normal reviews since i always read them after having seing the film and look to see if anyone else had different interpretations or revelations i didn't do i can get more out of the film retrospectively.

Megathreads about exactly which entry in a video game series is the slightly better one to get into

I feel like Reddit was a fantastic DIY resource. Whenever I needed an answer to a specific problem, someone years ago would have asked that specific question. I'm hoping Lemmy becomes such a useful resource one day!

Be able to expand more about the web and networks from here. I did that on Reddit as a jump off point.

The simplicity of the comments is why Reddit has been king. The separation lines between comments are too old school blog on here and I really don't it. The waterfall style of Reddit comments is an infinitely better mechanic

It's been mentioned, but product recommendations from real consumers that weren't listicles of Amazon affiliate links primed for SEO.

  1. Shitposting and nonsense
  2. Linux and other tech news/info
  3. News and commentary from normal people

niche communities... like random skin care and chromeos
