I know this site is mostly critical of Reddit, and I tend to find reddit to be hard to use given that their spaces tend to be either ragebaity or polarizing. For those who still occasionally visit reddit, what are some current subreddits that you’d recommend nowadays? For me it’s:

  • r/history - I like how they actively discourage non-serious comments and delete comments that violate their rules, so that sub feels like an actual forum
  • r/religion - the discussions lean towards neutral and welcoming, willing to discuss religions from their point of view without pushing their beliefs onto others (they have a rule that prohibits proselytizing). Great for those who want to inquire about a specific religion but the religion-specific subreddits are subjected to the average subreddit’s shortcomings.
  • r/SeriousConversation - a nice space for those who don’t want to chat through memes and insults
  • @RightHandOfIkaros

    I hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance that anything on r/religion is unbiased or neutral. And Reddit in general, really.

    For me the only subreddits I cared about were niche gaming communities, but I never liked them for discussion. I just liked them because they were usually a better news source for the games than Twitter.
