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.

This so much. And if you're thinking of starting a new hobby, there is a sub for it to help you get started. Not only do you have a group of veterans to ask your newb questions to, but lots of them have curated FAQs and starter guides to get you rolling. Reddit honestly improved my life in many ways for this reason.
