I follow German subreddits because it's good daily practice, and most of them are fun. SchnitzelVerbrechen is my latest discovery.<p>I specifically block all bullying, outrage porn, look-at-those-idiots subreddits, as well as all US politics. It makes the reddit experience much more pleasant.
For me personally, the niche subreddits beat the popular ones any day of the week.<p>To name a few:<p>- AskAnAmerican - Interesting to get American and non-American perspectives on things, for good and bad.<p>- corgi - Self-explanatory.<p>- Eldenring<p>- ExperiencedDevs<p>- news - It's a popular subreddit and therefore filled with lots of crap, but I like to get a birds eye view of what's happening.<p>- ShitPostCrusaders - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure shitposts<p>- dadswhodidnotwantpets<p>- EatSandwiches<p>- Mid_Century - Furniture and art<p>- oldmaps - I love antique maps.<p>- vexillology - I also love flags.<p>- specializedtools<p>- UnresolvedMysteries<p>- WTFaucet - Strange faucets.<p>- taskmaster - Dedicated to the British panel show

I make heavy usage of multireddit.<p>I have four for cool images and art, two for funny things, one for discussion oriented subs, one for news, one for stupid edgy memes, and others for minor subs.<p>I could share a list later. I use each depending of my mood.<p>What's important for me is avoiding political drama, violence oriented subs or justice subs which have really disturbing content I don't need to see (car violence, street violence etc). It's difficult and requires time to evaluate each sub.<p>I have already left a sub because the content started to be too violent, for example /r/unexpected<p>My lists (you can create a multi and add them by pasting several lines)<p><a href="https://pastebin.com/iPAWUzBk" rel="nofollow">https://pastebin.com/iPAWUzBk</a>
I try to keep it to a minimum, just a general ones about Python, Linux, etc. I've noticed that it is a rabbit hole. If I stay to long on Reddit I lose track of time.
I'm a big fan of /r/whatisthisthing<p>For the easy stuff that I might know it's always long-since identified by the time I look at it. The hard stuff is usually either some corroded lump of metal from a magnet fisher that could be anything, or something truly obscure.<p>Plus it's fairly often enlivened by the answer "It's live ordnance, put it down and call the authorities, no don't try and unscrew that bit, it's the fuse!"

Sure, the front page can be. But you can make your home page what you want it to be.
Reddit is trash full with bigotry, nazis, racism and stupidity. I avoid it as much as I can.
It's worse than Facebook.
Since forums no longer seem to be a thing Google likes It's been placing Reddit results on top of search results.
They usually are a waste of time and source of anger to click.<p>I avoid it. The thought police is very real there. It's an awful place.
