Funny how you can usually know which site a link is from based on how the title is worded. > I disabled WiFi on the new Samsung fridge - HN > What’s a sign of extremely low intelligence? - AskReddit > Chinese government data shows domestic smartphone shipments fell 30% YoY to ~86M units in the first four months of 2022 amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in China - News/WSJ

They've been pushing hard for growth as well, which I think is probably the single most devastating thing to an online community. There is some amount of growth that can be tolerated while maintaining a sense of community and common culture, but when the new members are pouring in by the thousands every day, that is no longer possible. Most participants will be strangers to each other. What few subreddits have surviv…

I think "common culture" is precisely the problem with reddit. Before reddit there were many different separate forums. Each had to be signed up to separately and each had their own culture. With reddit there's little barrier between reddits, which has lead to a shared culture across the whole site. The culture is generally friendly, but is immature and superficial. It's great for small-talk, but useless and frustrat…

Right, when I say common culture I mean culture common to a specific subreddit. I don't think reddit as a whole has a common culture. It's like a train station and not like a village, everyone is always passing through.

There really ought to be a filter there to ignore the most mainstream subreddits. AskReddit's value is below zero. (same questions and answers being posted over and over)

If it could integrate a blocklist like what Reddit Enhancement Suite uses, then I'd definitely consider it. I've filtered about 200 subreddits. That sounds like a lot, but there are a ton of duplicate terrible meme/armchair politics/lazy content subreddits worth hiding.

Wow haven't been to reddit in ages, surprised it's so (subjectively) bad. Has it gotten worse or was I a fool before? It's cringeworthy

Reddit is nearly unusable out of box. Use it for smaller specialized interests and it can be very valuable. I use it for the baseball and hiking communities and I have a radically different experience than I otherwise would going thru /all.

The frontpage is pretty bad. In my experience smaller subreddits are still good quality. There's a reason why people add 'reddit' to their search queries after all.

Yeah, public reddit is terrible, but make an account, unsubscribe the default subreddits and subscribe to smaller subreddits, and it can be awesome. A selection of subreddits I can recommend (depending on your interests of course): bodyweightfitness, breadit, dataisbeautiful, digitalnomad, onebag, Ultralight, walkablecities, cozy_places, artisanvideos, relationship_advice, bestof, financialindependence, gamedev, game…

> walkablecities, cozy_places

I would also recommend r/raining for those cozy vibes!
