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.

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.

I haven't been active in the IT world on years, but as a veteran of Usenet from back in the 90's, I've been enjoying how much this distributed setup feels like that; And in no small part because it's not as easily accessible to the non-techies.

I also feel like the comparison to a "sugar rush" is a good one. Reddit was becoming too much, it was so overrun with bots and trolls. This place feels more sane and less run down.
