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.
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!
