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 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.

I think the voting system plays a huge role in that. On other social media platforms engagement always pushes the content, no matter if the engagement is positive or negative.
