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.

    The subreddit sidebars were a treasure trove of great starting information on almost any topic. It was always my first stopping point when wanting to learn something new, travel to a new place or start a new hobby. It was legitimate helpful information that wasn’t trying to promote or sell anything. I hope to find that here.
