What value did you get from Reddit that you hope to realize or expand upon here? (lemmy.world)

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’ll co-sign all of that! Niche stuff is why I was on Reddit.

Fitness for FTM guys, my city’s local page, subs for my dogs’ specific breeds, Jewish cooking. The communities that grew organically in n niche spots brought me a lot of joy.

Also hey! Kayaking! If you know of a Lemmy community for it, I’m game! Always nice to run into other paddlers.

Have you found a Jewish cooking niche here yet? Because I would absolutely be into that! I'm not good at cooking, but one of the few exceptions to that is that I make fantastic challah, and I'm always up for sharing that.
