Yeah, much of Reddit is absolute trash. It’s really hard to find dedicated communities for anything, but most of ‘em are much better than Reddit for everything ‘cept reach.
Really, the only communities I’ll miss are niche hobby communities. The rest of the website could crash and burn for all I care.
The reposts and site culture clichés were already driving me batty. I did get a lot of good info from a couple rather niche communities about chronic illnesses, but they turned into answering the same questions and having the same discussions over and over. I can definitely live without telling another 5,000 people how to get tested for Celiac disease.

And for that stuff, you can still just use ‘(insert query here) Reddit’, and just use an adblocker. That, or find dedicated forums.
Honestly, just not having Reddit on my phone will be enough to break the compulsion to fire it up.
