Subreddits that you like?

I know this site is mostly critical of Reddit, and I tend to find reddit to be hard to use given that their spaces tend to be either ragebaity or polarizing. For those who still occasionally visit reddit, what are some current subreddits that you’d recommend nowadays? For me it’s:

  • r/history - I like how they actively discourage non-serious comments and delete comments that violate their rules, so that sub feels like an actual forum
  • r/religion - the discussions lean towards neutral and welcoming, willing to discuss religions from their point of view without pushing their beliefs onto others (they have a rule that prohibits proselytizing). Great for those who want to inquire about a specific religion but the religion-specific subreddits are subjected to the average subreddit’s shortcomings.
  • r/SeriousConversation - a nice space for those who don’t want to chat through memes and insults
rjthyen,

r/nba. Wish the conversations would find their way here, but for now it’s way more engaging on reddit

Now that you’ve mentioned it, subreddits with “r/Academic” as the prefix managed to create some communities here on Lemmy, but discussions continued on Reddit anyway

I use Reddit via one of three frontends (kddit, Eddrit, and Remini).

Some of my known haunts include:

The only thing that wasn’t already basically on Lemmy I used was perchance.org and we switched to lemmy during the protest

slazer2au,

The only subs I still visit is the Sysadmin one because it is the best resource for what is going down in the industry even though I am not a Sysadmin anymore.

Mautobu,

No Reddit. Only Lemmy.

RightHandOfIkaros,

I hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance that anything on r/religion is unbiased or neutral. And Reddit in general, really.

For me the only subreddits I cared about were niche gaming communities, but I never liked them for discussion. I just liked them because they were usually a better news source for the games than Twitter.
