For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

I’d love to see more communities that cover topics outside of the usual STEM / STEM-adjacent / typical redditor interests. I was on another reddit-alternative a few years ago called tildes and it was … shockingly like a microcosm of reddit. Like, it’s hard to describe how narrowly-focused, how stereotypically reddit, the userbase’s interests are. STEM, anime, gaming.
The music, literature, humanities, environment, city life and so on communities are excellent starts in that direction. And, despite the fact I’ll never read anything there, the sports community is equally valuable for the same reason.
That said, something for tabletop games would be cool, too. Preferably something not D&D/MtG because we all know they completely take over every space they touch (like my FLGS… RIP).
Hello fellow ex-tildes user, I hope you find this place more welcoming and less STEM focused 😀
I KNEW I recognized your username from somewhere! :) It certainly seems so, thank you for the work you and others have put in :)
might have also been from Reddit, I’m an old bunny by this point ☠
No, it was definitely tildes :)
In that case, glad you found your way over here. My experiences on Tildes were important learning opportunities for me. I realized how much discussions for a community to interact with itself were a necessary part of keeping communities healthy
My experience there taught me that it’s impossible to get people interested in things if they don’t want to be, e.g. poetry / art. Also a learning experience :)
Same reason I stopped using Tildes lol. I liked many of the things Tildes brought to the table… but ultimately, it didn’t really offer anything different from Reddit
