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.
For me, reddit killed hobby forums. I’m hoping lemmy can take it’s place. I’m partular I’m looking for computer networking and infrastucture, and Judo/BJJ
I’ve been looking networking/hosting types of communities. So far I’ve found selfhosted@lemmy.world, datahoarder@lemmy.ml, sysadmin@lemmy.ml. Not sure about Judo but don’t forget you can always create a community!
