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.

No longer the case on current day reddit, but in the past in the news subreddits, when an article was clickbait one of the top comments would usually point out that it was click bait and why. And that made reddit for me a very useful source to get news from all over the world because it was easy to skip through the biased/clickbait articles.

Then also the specific gaming communities. Lemmy is far to small to have a community for every single game so that's a big loss for me.

I wonder how much interest there is in bringing /u/alternate-source-bot to the news communities/sublemmies/magazines/whatever we are calling them now. I feel like there could be some utility but I haven't seen any bots in the wild yet, and I don't want to spam or otherwise overload instances.
